Senior Calvin Allen joined wrestling 3 years ago and is the first in his family to wrestle. He explains how wrestling “is tough” and that it “takes a lot”. When it comes down to it,  he “likes to overachieve” on the mat and appreciates the competition that wrestling provides.  

Another avid wrestler, junior Phillip Horrell joined wrestling around five years ago because of “personal interest”.  He believes that wrestling helps him in “other aspects in life” and “improve” in other tasks. He also mentioned that his dad used to wrestle back in high school, so he continued on with the family tradition and joined wrestling.

If you would like to watch the boys wrestle, their first meet is on December 11th and is at home.
