Coach Smith – “The kids are working hard and are numbers are looking good (35) heading into this season. We have great leadership and depth with this team. Our young kids are very scrappy and they have no fear. They just want to come in and wrestle. Our expectations are higher this year than they were a year ago. We want to move up in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference (EPC) and be in that top tier. A year ago we qualified for team districts, and now the expectation is to win in districts.”
