Wrestling is, without a doubt,
the toughest high school sport in the nation. Those that wrestle are challenged
physically, mentally and emotionally every day. Faced with the prospect of hard work many
quit. Others will step up to the
task with drive, determination and desire.
Hard work does pay off. Those
that remain will be champions.
Listed below are the names of those who remained and finished their
high school wrestling career. Their
shared experiences exemplify the schools creed of Courage, Pride, Honor,
and Sacrifice. Please feel free to
contact me with additions, corrections, or comments. Coach Jim Keck
