2018/2019 Season Preview

When our Southern Rams hit the mat on Thursday night against the Allegany Campers, we will begin our quest for our 2nd straight state championship and the 5th in school history.  Our team is missing some big names from last year's squad, but our returning starters, returning JV wrestlers and all the newcomers are ready to fill their shoes and help the team reach the ultimate goal.  Our focus this year is #StriveforFive and the boys have been working hard in the practice room, getting ready to chase that dream.

The Lower Weights - 106/126
This group of Ram wrestlers is anchored by returning state qualifier Joey McComas and regional qualifiers Colum McCann and Brogan Kealy.  Joining this bunch are freshmen Jeremiah Mellinger, Aiden Schwab, Skyler Glotfelty and Brian Davis, sophomore McGuyver Dewitt and juniors Tyler Landis and Zane Jones.  This talented group of young athletes has extensive experience and will undoubtedly "get the ball rolling" for our team.

The Lower Middle Weights - 132/152
Leading this part of our lineup are returning state place -winners Jake W. Sweitzer and Jace Guy.  Joining Jake and Jace are state qualifier Nate Tasker, seniors Evan Paugh and Michael Moon, juniors Kyle Horvath and Sam Robinette, sophomores Elisha Skipper and Elisemarie Bittinger and freshmen Jaxsen Tasker and Zach Schoch.  Now the ball is really rolling and picking up momentum.

The Upper Middle Weights - 160/182
Returning starter, Junior Declan McCann, anchors this part of our line up.  Joining Declan is Senior Nathan Sweitzer, juniors Brayden Warnick and Cole Baker, sophomore Justin Richter, and freshman Hunter Sanders.  These hard working boys will continue to score points for our team, and in many cases, put the match out of reach for the Rams.

The Big Boys - 195/285
Senior co-captains Hunter Park and Cole Sweitzer are the leaders of the top part of the line up.  Cole and Hunter are joined by junior Trenton Tasker, sophomore Chris Mersing and freshmen Cameron Glover, Colin Shreve and Dylan Thornburg.  The big men will continue what the lower weights started and will lead the Southern Rams to many victories this season.
