Notable returning wrestlers: Emily Frantzen, Sr., 10-5, RQ, D3.

What they are saying: “Emily's back this year. She had been with our program before last year, which was my first year as head coach as a whole. When I found out that we didn't have a sanctioned girls team, that was one of the first things I did. She works very hard and I wanted to make sure she had the opportunity for postseason events. Currently we've been having some signups. We're hoping to grow those numbers and have a team outside of just her and it looks like we've got about 10 other kids signed up for girls right now. So it's trending in the right direction. We hope to keep picking up some more, but she's been great for us kind of carrying the torch.”

On Emily Frantzen: “I know she has aspirations of wrestling at the next level and she's been putting in some good work this summer. One of the main goals that we have for her is just to get some more competitions under her belt. That's something we've been focused on this offseason is getting her more mat time. When she first got started with the sport, she didn't get too many competition opportunities. Now we've got a schedule loaded up for her and the other girls that are going to be with the team. So she'll have a lot of opportunities to compete.”

Outlook: The Villages look to be more than a one woman show and are bringing in numbers to introduce to the sport and see this team grow.
