provided, the abundance in effort has more than made
up for it. Injuries have also hurt the team as junior
Austin Lewton is out for the rest of the wrestling season
with a knee injury.
Senior Dylan Miller has led the team this year as
he won the Westview Invitational earlier in the season
at the 215 pound weight class. He is the team leader
this year as he is the only senior on the squad.
Lack of leadership has been a thorn in the Warriors
side this year but they continue to work through their
troubles.
Young talent has emerged for the Warriors this
year through the team’s lack of older members. Trey
Kennedy has been mentioned by many of his teammates
as he has done an outstanding job this year. “Trey
(Kennedy) has become one of the best on the team.
After beating out junior Austin Gamble for varsity and
then going 5-0 at the Westview Super dual. Overall he
has done a great job,” said an impressed Tony Steglich.
Steglich is a sophomore member of the team
and has also done a great job this year. He has a 2112 overall record and had his best match of the year
last weekend on January 22nd according to head
coach Joel Pippenger. Pippenger is also a key to the
Warriors success according to Steglich. “It’s good to
have someone who is a very good wrestler as well as a
ju jitzu fighter coaching you. There’s no excuses for
anything.”
The sophomore class is going to be a key to the
Warriors success in the future as Brian Mullett and
Steglich keep improving. Mullett finished second
during the Westview Invitational.
As sectionals continue to become closer the
wrestlers are ready to battle. “Sectionals are what
everyone on the team has been waiting for. The hard
work for three months and all the time put in this year
comes down to sectionals,” said Steglich.
The teams consensus feeling is one of excitement
as they gear up for sectionals. Steglich is also very
confident in his teammates. “Everyone on our team
could move on. You never know. It’s about who wants
it more.”
As for Steglich, he’s optimistic of his chances to
advance. “In my case the top three spots are pretty
much locked up with some of the best in the state. I
see myself getting into that fourth spot and advancing
into the regional. From there on it’s mainly about
match ups according to coach Pippenger. Anything
could happen.”
Steglich said it best. “Anything could happen.” As
for the Warriors, they can only work hard and do their
best to make that statement true.
