What they’re saying: "It's still a growing, developing team. As you know, two years ago we had that huge senior class of about 11 wrestlers, so last year was much more of a rebuild year. We still found some success in a few of the big tournaments, but we are still in that rebuilding moment right now. A lot of our young guys are going to continue to get great opportunities. We had a couple of freshmen and a couple of sophomores in the lineup last year who are coming back, and now they have a whole year of varsity experience under their belts. I'm really looking forward to it. We had a young group last season, and since a lot of them are still here, we are building toward something great with them. I'm excited."
On Timber Creek’s depth: "Having the numbers and the depth that we do is huge. Even during the years when these kids were not starting, the wrestlers they were behind were state qualifiers who were having a lot of success. Because of that, our backups are still able to be highly competitive in the room. When they finally jump in and it’s a 'next man up' situation, they’ve been around the block and they have experience. It’s not like bringing someone brand new into the lineup; it’s someone who has been wrestling in our system and is ready to produce."
On Eli West: "He was just a match away last year. What people don't know about him is that while last year was his junior year, he actually just started wrestling in the off-season of his sophomore year. Last year was his first full season on the mat, and he found a massive amount of success with just one year of experience under his belt. Coming back for his senior year, he obviously has high expectations, and we are excited to see what he is going to do this season."
Outlook: Timber Creek should be improved this season as its younger guys get another year of experience.
