This year, the wrestling team’s Senior Night was unfortunately canceled, but the program found a creative and meaningful way to celebrate. The team hosted a Coaches vs. Wrestlers event to honor the seniors and their parents, making the evening both memorable and enjoyable for everyone involved.


A sincere thank-you to the coaches who volunteered to step on the mat and help make the night special. Their willingness to participate ensured a fun and memorable experience for the athletes and their families.
