Senior James Nash is victorious in his duel against his Spencer County High School opponent on the senior night home match on Jan. 23. Successes by seniors on the wrestling team like this one reflect the especially hard work they have endured this season, not only to embrace their last opportunity to become a Regional Champion and/or State Place winner but to serve as an example for underclassmen on the team, so they will be inspired to train and prepare equally as vigorously, although most younger members have already done so independently of older role models. My original reason [for joining the team] was to win and make myself better, but it changed. My new motivation is to inspire others and make others better, and not only my team but others as well, said senior Patrick Netherton.

The wrestling team prepares for their upcoming match against Taylor County High School on Jan. 9. With the team as a whole in need of improving their rankings, the successes of individual members have demonstrated how hard each team member has been working to better their abilities, and with this sport already being time-consuming and challenging in itself, their efforts have been especially acknowledged. Wrestling is a very tough and demanding sport, which requires strong dedication and commitment, said wrestling coach Tom Wells.
