| Our team captains |
The start of the 2013/2014 begins on Saturday, December 7th with a tri match vs. Oakdale from Frederick and Allegany from Cumberland. Wrestling begins at 4pm in Cumberland. The Ram wrestling team finished the season 12-2 last year and just missed a trip to the regional duals. Five starters from last year's team were lost to graduation, but the team has reloaded and is looking forward to another winning season. Cooper McCauley, Zach Tichnell, Johnny Lascaris, Stephen Collins and state placewinner Scott Cooper all graduated and moved on in their lives.
Returning to lead the team on the mat this season is senior Austin Shaffer who is a 3-time state qualifier, placing 3rd in '13 and was state champion in '12. Joining Shaffer is senior state qualifier Tanner Massey and a long list of other seniors looking to join those two at the state tournament in March. Seth Kisner, Will Foulke, Brian Rinker and Justyce Fulmer join Shaffer and Massey as team captains this season and Keith Chapman, Ty Artice, Brad Clary and Austin Glotfelty round out an amazing group of seniors.
Joining the seniors in the quest to help the team win another state championship are juniors Josh King, Tristan Newcomb, Dalton Cooper and Jake Kosiarski, sophomores Devan Hamrick, Ethan Bittinger, Jacob Zimmerman, Marcus Tichinel, Trenten Friend and Corey Horner and freshmen George Zimmerman, Jimmy Schwab and Erik Fike. "These boys have been working very hard and are ready to get this thing started. Each and every kids on this team will play an important role in the success of the Southern Rams this season" said Coach Tim Rush.
"It's going to be a great year, but there are a lot of tough teams on our schedule" stated Coach Dave Taylor. "It starts this weekend with a team (Oakdale) who placed ahead of us at regionals last year. Wrestling them, along with a vastly improved Allegany team, is a great way to start the season" he added. "Also looking strong this year are Northern, Mt Ridge, Williamsport and Keyser and each of our three tournaments will provide great challenges for our team and each wrestler individually."
"We have such a strong core of team leaders and talented wrestlers. There is no doubt we are going to have an outstanding season and it's going to be a lot of fun" commented Coach Dan Clark.
