24-25 dual record: 28-4

Recent district results: 2025:4; 2024:3; 2023:2; 2022:2; 2021:6-3A7; 2020:3-3A7; 2019:2-3A7; 2018:2-3A7; 2017:1-3A7; 2016:3-3A7; 2015:3-3A7; 2014:3-3A7; 2013:3-3A7; 2012:3-3A7

Last state champion: Colin Bradshaw, 2022 (120)

Notable losses (Graduation/Transfer): Freddie Pflueger, 44-12, 7th, R3, DC; Andrew Lin, 24-20, RQ, D4; Gabe Oden, 34-15, RQ-BR, D2; Darian Monserrate, 33-13, D6; Angel Rua, 6-4; Joey Vitale, 28-8.

Notable returning wrestlers: Alzider Ortiz, Sr., 55-4, 5th, RC, DC; Luke Palukaitis, Sr., 42-13, SQ, R4, DC; Cristian Gilkes, Jr., 43-15, SQ, R4, D2; Landon Hill, Jr., 37-17, RQ, D3; Brayden Newell, Sr., 33-17, RQ, D3; Tyler Novitzky, Jr., 10-11, RQ, D4; Cole Nedow, Sr., 25-9.

What they are saying: "I don't know what the high side is yet. if that makes sense. I kind of know where the floor might be if we drop out. But I don't know where the high side is just because we got three state qualifiers coming back and obviously one is high is highly ranked who we think can do really well. The other two I think can get medals. I mean they got to believe they can get medals."

More on outlook: "It's the same as every time, we just don't really worry about that. We just worry about getting better every week. Let's just get better. Fall in love with what you do and just get better at what you do. So, it's not really rocket science, if that makes sense."

Fast fact: Noble is just 12 dual meet wins away from 400 career victories.

On reaching 400 duals wins: "It's just another stepping stone. I mean, it's kind of about the kids really. You get to a point where it's just like, 'All right.' When you're young, your ego is kind of into it, I want to prove something to everybody. When you get to 400 wins, it's kind of like, I don't really got a lot to prove. I just want these kids to be good human beings and be good at wrestling. I mean, it'll mean something, I'm sure, that day. But it's just privileged to be able to have done it. The privilege to have been in it so long and created so many relationship with so many coaches and kids, that's the thing that you can't really buy. I think people don't realize that when they start coaching. It's hard. and I'll be honest, I wouldn't have been able to do it as long as I have if both of my kids didn't love wrestling. if they didn't love wrestling, then I'd have to do something else."

Outlook: Noble has lead a steady program at Steinbrenner and this year should be no different. Ortiz is a contender for the state title at 106 and Palukaitis and Gilkes will look to make it back to state and bring some teammates with them.

Last state champion: Dylan Sparkman, 2021 (126)

Notable returning wrestlers: Caleb Gauthier, Sr., 64-4, 3rd, RC, DC; David Cardullo, Jr., 41-8, SQ, R2, DC; Jeffery Hartley, So., 35-12, SQ, R2, D3; Zach Berry, Sr., 40-5, 8th, RC, DC; Chris Moore, Jr., 43-12, RQ-BR, DC; Sheldon Fouche', Sr., 37-13, RQ-BR, DC; Toby Horner, So., 26-13, RQ, D4; Christopher Marqueen, Sr., 30-12, D5.

What they are saying: “We have a great group of kids that have trained all off-season. They are looking to prove themselves and achieve their goals.”

On Caleb Gauthier: “I think that he's in the right weight class, he's going to win a state title.”

On a second straight region title: “I just think that we have a really good coaching staff. We're going to have another good year. We have some good kids coming in from the youth program and then everyone kind of doubts us and then we surprise people like last year winning the regional. I think that to be fair though, I think (George) Jenkins is kind of doing the same thing we are. I think that they're on the up and up and they're growing and they're doing better and their coaching staff is growing, but I think we have what it takes to win it again.”

Outlook: The Hurricanes bring back a ton of depth and have some young wrestling ready to break into the line-up. A repeat double and IBT district and region titles is certainly a possibility for this group.
