What they are saying: “We want to repeat as the district dual champions all the way to the state championship and reclaim this district IBT championship, return up to six wrestlers to the state tournament and get three on the podium.”
On scheduling: “That's why we do the tournaments that we do to get them ready for that. I tell them, I'm not preparing you for now and I don’t care if you win a match all year. It's about district, regional, and states. That's what our goal is, to get you guys there and once you guys get to states, that's on you. We're here now. What else you want to do? Do you just want to be here or do you want to work to do something?”
On returning state qualifier Manghisi: “I’m extremely excited for him. He's really put the mat time in this summer and it's really showed. I think he's going to have a really good season.”
Outlook: With five starters missing last season come district time, the Knights still almost pulled off a three-peat of district IBT titles. The district does continue to get tougher and while the Knights remain the team to beat in the district duals, they’ll need to stay healthy and come up big at the end.

What they are saying: “This year's team has been through the ringer, competing at tough tournaments during the off season such as Poseidon and Knockout Summer Slam. There are quite a few wrestlers that inspire each other to get better each week and we are excited to see their individual progression compared to their last year's results.”
On goals this season: “Our goal is to reclaim our district title, qualify for the regional tournament and qualify for the state dual tournament. We have a couple missing weight classes that could play a factor into our team's success, so it is our job to find new wrestlers and prepare them to fill those weight classes.”
