Isabel Garcia, A&E Editor This season includes a new lineup of guys as well new lineup of guys as well as three returns from the previous season. Coach Boyd said that there’s a lot of young guys that have potential and he’s looking forward to having a good team for the next 4 years including three first-year wrestlers, Kendall Goodmill (Div. 813), weight class 170; Mark Quiñones(Div. 806), weight class 106; and Eduardo Ramirez (Div. 806), weight class 116. The wrestling team has two seniors, Victor Mares (Div.606) weight class 106, and Lewis Castro (Div. 606) weight class 113. Unfortunately, both Lewis and Victor were injured, along with coach Boyd, during the first half of the season. “It was upsetting to see other wrestlers wrestle from my weight class and have to sit there and watch them lose but as soon as I got better, I was excited to step back on the mats,” Lewis said. “All the hard work was starting to pay off.” Some of the wrestling team's previous alumni, Damian Gamez and Richard Lucio, class of 2015, returned to the school to make sure that the team continued to be successful. They worked with the team to keep the tradition of giving back. Coach Hernandez stepped in with the help of Richard Lucio while Coach Boyd recovered from surgery. Lewis Castro placed third in his 113 weight class. As he recovered from his injury, a few rookie wrestlers competed on December 3, 2015. Kendall Goodmill placed 3rd place; Tyrique Williams placed 3rd place in his weight class; Malik Keith placed 2nd place; Emmanuel Bracamontes was 5th place as well as Mark Quiñones. JV placed in the top 5, but they have the hopes of things turning for the better and having better results for the state tournaments. Senior wrestler Victor Mares and Lewis Castro were honored with wrestling belts during a special ceremony and were applauded for their hard work and dedication. Although it has not been their best year, the team is proud of those who are striving to become better wrestlers. At the end of the day, they stand united as a team evolves.
