What they are saying: “We have a lot of kids that are just rising sophomores and rising juniors that were kind of chomping at the bit to get in the lineup. So, it'll be different. It won't be as much talent, but, in the long run, we think we'll be pretty good. What's a little bit unique for us is we feel really comfortable about 13 of our 14 weight classes right now.”
On Derryl Godbolt: “ Our heavyweight’s improvement every year has been paramount. We think he's made that big step. He made a big step last year where he was winning and winning and all a sudden we're looking around like, man, you got a chance to be a qualifier. You got a chance to be a placer. And he finishes six. Now we feel like we have a legitimate shot to be the best at it.”
On Prince Fortuna: “He is a kid that has made these huge jumps every year last year in regions he got defensive pinned with 10 seconds left and then he wrestled the blood round ejected and lost. I think in the long run, that helped us out and he's really hungry and that he's be one of those kids that if he's a top five finisher I wouldn't be surprised. I think the goal is to get him to state tournament, but he's one of those guys that he has gotten way better and I think he's going to be the guy that takes that huge leap where he's like, he wasn't a qualifier. Maybe he gets on the podium somewhere next year."
Outlook: The Bobcats have built a culture as a program that the next man up is ready to step in and this team returns a group of region qualifiers that are hungry to improve and lead this team to a three-peat in district competition.

Notable returning wrestlers: Marquise Harris-El, Sr.; Sebastian Hayes, Sr.; Justin Kurtz, Sr.; Eli Nichols, Sr.; Ivan Rua, Sr.; Paul Shepherd, Sr.
What are they saying: “I know it's not starting over because there are a lot of hungry kids. We are just looking for consistency and patience and showing up every day and asking the kids to do the same thing, And I think if the coaches and the kids can all do that, I think we'll get to where we're competing with everyone at the top.”
On kids buying in: “We've got a group of 15 to 20 kids that have from day one when I stepped on the mat last year in the spring, they've been committed to us all the way through till now. We took eight kids up to Pennsylvania this summer and did a camp up there and I mean, I could list off all 15 or 20 of them and I'm definitely excited.”
On what brought him back to coaching: “I never lost love for the sport. I've been here at the school ever since I stepped down. And a former athlete of mine, his son was a freshman last year and another athlete of mine was an assistant last year. Those two were big draws. Then my wife last year during Christmas break said ‘You need to get back into coaching.’ So, here I am.”
On optimism: “Am I going to put any claims out there, and am I going to say South Dade, watch out, and Lake Gibson? No, I'm not going to make those claims yet, but we've got a very promising future.”
Outlook: Weaver is back coaching and is looking to bring back Titans wrestling after some down years in the program.
