Season Preview

It is time to introduce the 2012/2013 Southern Ram Wrestling Team.

The 2012/2013 Southern Garrett Wrestling Rams will be led this season by senior co-captains Scott Cooper, Cooper McCauley and Stephen Collins.  In addition, defending state champion Austin Shaffer will be seaking his second straight state title in March.  Lost to graduation were a number of starting wrestlers and this year's team looks to fill those shoes nicely.  Last year's senior starters included Garrett Beachy, Dakota Pritt, Gavin Murphy, Mikey Skipper, Coty Rasel and Kevin Miller.  We also lost a varsity wrestler from last season to injury this fall.  Sophomore, Josh King is recovering from a leg injury and hopes to be back before the season ends.

Co-Captain Cooper McCauley is ready!!

Joining Collins, McCauley, Cooper and Shaffer in the starting line-up will be Devan Hamrick, Zach Tichnell, Tanner Massey, Justyce Fulmer, Will Foulke, Austin Sines, Dalton Cooper, Brian Rinker and a couple other spots that will be determined soon.  Fighting for the last spots are Corey Horner, Johnny Lascaris, Logan Tichinel, Jacob Zimmerman, John Zimmerman, Keith Chapman, Seth Kisner and Marcus Tichinel.

Tanner Massey looks to have a great Junior season

The young Rams have been working hard everyday in practice and will take the mat for opening night against Boonsboro and Frankfort on Wednesday evening.  We feel we have a very competitive team and look forward to some outstanding matches to start the season.  Frankfort and Boonsboro are solid tests for the Rams right out of the gate and then we face the two-time defending state champions, Winters Mill and the always tough Harford Tech at home this Saturday.  This is a brutal first week of the season, but the boys are ready to go.

Besides Winters Mill and Harford Tech, we look for our toughest competition to come from Mountain Ridge, Northern Garrett and Williamsport which we will face in January.  Our tournaments this season include the Wheeling Park Duals and the Fort Hill Super Duals which are very tough tests that we have attended for the past few years.  On Saturday, December 15th, we will compete in the Musselman Duals for the first time.  December will set the tone for the season without a doubt.

Head Coach Dave Taylor is in his 12th year leading the Rams into action.  He is assisted by Tim Rush for the 9th straight year and Dan Clark who is returning to coaching after a few years of officiating.
