Head coach: Steve DeRafelo, 6th season (26-25 career record). Last year's record: 3-5 in the PAC-10, 4-10 overall. Wrestlers to watch: Freshmen Jonathan Dempsey (103), Jordan Moser (125), Joe Heitz (130) and Scott Syrek (189); sophomores Cole Stewart (112) and Chris Davis (215); juniors Cody Karkoska (125), Danny Mongold (140), Nick Fuschino (152), Jordan Stierly (160) and Randy Keehn (285); and seniors Will Bentley (119), Connor McCormick (145), Nate Derix (171) and Mike Nesbitt (215). Notes: DeRafelo has two of the area's most talented freshmen in Moser and Syrek. ... Leadership should come from Bentley, a returning state qualifier; McCormick and Fuschino, regional medalists; and Stewart, a district qualifier. ... "We lost a great wrestler in Jeremy Stierly, but we have three freshmen who we expect to make an impact this season and some quality kids who enjoyed some success last year. We're excited to get started."
