| 2020-2021 Outlook |
| Keys to success in the 2020-21 season: |
| It is beginning to just become the culture of our Willard Wrestling program to set lofty goals and achieve them. We have finished top 7 in the state four of the last five years, we have solid kids that are willing to be pushed and believe in themselves. Once you have a culture emerging with in any program the expectations to have a good year are always there. We want to continue to build our Culture and produce not only good wrestlers but great young men for the future. We were 6 points away from our first ever Team Trophy at the state tourney last season, we have our eyes on being able to bring one of those home to Willard. |
| Concerns about the lineup or challenges for the team this season: |
| We are senior heavy this year and I believe there will be a few of them have a stand out year. Some of them have been close in the past but with this being their last shot I think they will take that next step. We will be very young and inexperienced at 113, 120, 220, & 285. We have kids that will fill those positions that are tough kids but lack in their varsity wrestling experience. |
| Please list any impact freshman or transfers |
| As for underclassman to watch for, Andrew Keithley has had a great offseason and really gained confidence, he will have a shot of putting together a solid year. |
| Coach’s quote on overall thoughts about the team: |
| This season I’m sure is going to have its hurdles from the different “Covid” restrictions from county to county. We look forward to just competing at a high level and laying more bricks in the Willard Wrestling Foundation. We will have a very enjoyable group of guys which should make for a fun season. There are guys that have put in the time and commitment and I am looking forward to watching them reap the benefits. |
