Friday, January 17, the team will be leaving school early to head to Jesuit for a tournament that will continue onto Saturday.

The team will have an early morning Saturday as the meet is expected to begin at 9:00 a.m.

“This weekend is going to prepare us (for districts) very well,” sophomore Adam Schlossberg said. “We’ve got a lot of good wrestlers on the varsity.”
