For many years, Eaton Rapids has been well known for a skilled wrestling program. In November 2011, the wrestling team began practice in preparation for another fantastic season, coming off of a district title last year.
Key returners this year expect to be significantly improved. In an interview, Jacob Stewart claims, “I believe my skills and work ethic have improved in the past year. My varsity experience helped me to find the things I needed to work on in the off-season, and I have become a lot better.” There are few seniors on the team. However, what they lack in numbers they make up for in skill. Jacob Epling is projected to have another successful season as a Greyhound wrestler.
Needless to say, Mr. Warriner and his wrestling team hope to reclaim the district title, as well as the regional title. He says that in order to do this, the team will need to “work hard, be tenacious, and believe in themselves.” This wrestling season is expected to be an exciting one, so come out and support the Hounds!
