For 2007-08, the Grizzlies will return 6 wrestlers from last year's team. With only 6 returners, the Grizzlies expect to have a freshmen/sophomore dominated line-up. Coach Hennessey and Coach Hypes (starting their 2nd season with the team) have filled the schedule with many dual meets to provided the young wrestlers as many matches as possible this season.

The team would also like to mention and send thoughts and prayers to Austin Lynch (Class of 2007--189lbs.) who is currently fighting in Iraq for our country.
