Final update from Coach Troy:

On behalf of all of the Coaches, I want to let every wrestler know how proud we are of their fight, their grit and their determination through a whole season of Wrestling. It is, by far, the most demanding and rigorous sport there is, and they should be as proud of themselves as we are of them. It’s a big deal.

Once you have wrestled – EVERYTHING ELSE IS EASY! Dan Gable

Coaches
I want to thank all of the Coaches for all of their hours of volunteering and mentoring and dedication to our program. Please share the below to your wrestlers from our coaches. These kids mean a lot to us.
-We coach because we care about you
-We challenge you because we believe in in you
-We expect commitment because we know your family and school will
-We hold you accountable because life will hold you accountable
A special thanks to Mike Gildea, our SAA Board Member and Jeff & Megan Toal for all of their leadership behind the scenes and Joe Wentworth, who purchased our new singlets—which we will have for next season.

Parents and Family
We want to thank all of the parents for their dedication for getting their wrestlers to practice during the busy work and school weeks and for the long Saturdays and Sundays you spend with us. We thank you for believing in us to coach and be a part of the development of your children as athletes as well as young men and women. We owe a special token of gratitude to all of the brothers and sisters who had to endure the weekends of waking up early, screaming and walking tacos!!
