30 Grapplers Hit The Mats
John Carroll began regular practices with 2 session this past Saturday. In an attempt to 'peak' a little later in the year, JC started regular practices 2 weeks later than allowed. Last year, we waited one week to get started, and had a great MIAA Tournament, placing 2nd, but we fizzled at States and Nationals. Hopefully, the extra week along with extra days off during the Christmas break will find everyone healthy and hungry come late February.
