We're proud to support this legacy and can't wait to see the next generation of wrestlers hit the mats!
We have some real battles in the room right now. There are some good battles for some spots. We certainly have a lot more depth this year.” Senior Zach Mitchum (140, 145), junior Bryan Hawkins (152) and junior Cody Basala (152, 160) are other experienced and proven varsity wrestlers. Hawkins was just one match away from getting to state last year. (Hawkins) showed his toughness this year, He needed to beat that kid for district seeds.
I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of outstanding young men over the years. The kids who stuck around always worked hard and tried to give it everything they had….seeing those guys work hard to improve and to learn the sport, it’s something I’ve really enjoyed and I know it’s something I’m going to miss.”
The organization, through a positive environment of caring role models, coaches, and mentors, has helped thousands of youth develop personal qualities such as courage, humility, perseverance, and confidence. These attributes extend into every aspect of life, proving that the world’s oldest and greatest sport has a significant impact. The coaching staff’s dedication to inspiring, empowering, and transforming young lives through wrestling is commendable.
We are grateful to partner with Francis Howell North to ensure that the coaches can continue their invaluable work in shaping young lives through wrestling.
