With the majority of last year’s varsity team graduating, the Huskies will be fielding a younger team for the upcoming season. Senior captain Payton Potts said even though most of the team consists of underclassmen, he has hope the team will be a good competitors.
“Our team is young and I don’t think a lot people are expecting us to be very good,” Potts said. “I believe that we are going to shock a lot other teams at tournaments and duels.”
Setting high expectations for himself this season, Potts said wants to be a ranked wrestler and to have successful season.
“My ultimate goal is to become a ranked wrestler,” Potts said. “My goal is to become ranked and to win more matches than I lose. Those are my goals and I hope everyone else’s are the same.”
After one of the most successful seasons for the wrestling program, Head coach Tim Serbousek said that he expects the seniors to be role models for the other younger wrestlers.
“Just leadership qualities,” Serbousek said. “Leading by example, leading by compassion [and] leading vocally. Everything a true leader does, our seniors are classified in that group.”
