What sport are you a captain of? I am captain of the wrestling team.

When did you start playing the sport? I started my freshman year.

Do you want to continue this sport in college? I am not sure if I would wrestle in college.

Who was a prominent coach in your sports career? Why? Steve Hile was a prominent coach for me because he was the first to teach me all of the basics and help me improve myself throughout my wrestling career. 

What other activities/sports are involved in? I also play football.

How do you feel going into this season? I feel pretty good, we have a lot of newer kids on the team which is good because I want to see how much we can improve as a team by the end of the season.

What are some goals set for the team this coming season? How do you plan to achieve them? One of our goals for this season is to have a good mindset and to learn our moves and use them on the mat. To achieve these goals we will have to practice hard and show up to practice everyday with a good attitude and be ready to learn moves and get better.

Who are some big opponents/rivals? Why? I would say Natick is a pretty big opponent for us because it is always a close match between us. We will also be seeing them at the Sectional Tournament later in the year, so it is a good way to prepare.
