Wrestlers look forward to Sectional

Coming off of a second-place finish in this past weekend’s MIC tournament and with only two losses on its record, this year’s wrestling team looks competitive as it heads into the Sectional tournament tomorrow at Zionsville beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Chris Mascaro, returning wrestler and senior, said, “I believe that we have a good chance (tomorrow at Sectional). We have done pretty well so far and I believe that we can keep it up and hopefully pull off a big win at State. I think that we have worked hard for it, and I believe that we have earned it as a team.”

The team’s record this year is 17–2 in dual meets. The team has also placed either first or second in all of its invitationals including this past weekend’s MIC championship meet where the team lost to Lawrence North, a team it lost to on Dec. 5.

According to Head Coach John Kopnisky, “The team has really pulled through this year as individuals and as a whole. There (are) hopes for us to go far this year and I hope we will be able to pull of the State title this time around.”

If the team wins tomorrow at Sectional, it will head to North Montgomery on Wednesday to wrestle for a chance at a team Regional championship. Only the varsity wrestlers will have a chance to wrestle in both the team Regional and individual Regional.

But before the team wrestles at Regional, it must get past the Sectional, where it will face several teams from the area. Earlier this season the team faced and defeated several opponents that it will meet again in Sectional. These teams include Lebanon, Zionsville, Frankfort and Westfield.
