| 2020-2021 Outlook |
| Keys to success in the 2020-21 season: |
| Having a game plan going into every match and being mentally tough throughout the entire season. |
| Concerns about the lineup or challenges for the team this season: |
| We are going to have a very young lineup but our youngsters got a lot of varsity experience last year and had a lot of little league experience under their belts coming in which gives us a good outlook on our future. |
| Please list any impact freshman or transfers |
| Aden Solomon |
| How will the newcomers/transfers help? |
| Aden Solomon will be a great asset to the bottom of our varsity roster as a freshman at 113 and 106 this season coming out of the Rockwood-Lindbergh program in little league. |
| Coach’s quote on overall thoughts about the team: |
| Our team is very young but has experience. We have great leadership from JP Homfeld, who is looking to become Lindbergh’s 1st ever 4 time state qualifier and state medalist. He has done a great job mentoring the younger wrestlers and leading the group. This will be his third year as our captain and he has really grown into that role. I’m looking forward to see him leave his mark on this programs history and provide a role model that all of our younger wrestlers can look up to for years to come. |
| Coach’s quote on expectations for this year’s team: |
| This year we will definitely take some lumps as a young team. But I am confident in our guys that they will persevere and build into a solid district team. It’s going to be a long season, but these men can handle it and I’m excited to see where we end up at the end of the season. |
