Tigers head coach, David Doporto has seen his team reach great success so far this year and spoke on how hard his team has fought to reach this point as well as some words of encouragement for his team.
“Well, here we are. Post Season – It’s State Tournament time! Our entire team both men and women have given everything – blood, sweat, and sacrifice on the mat. As coaches, we are so proud of our team. We preach our mantra – Good People, Good Students, Good Wrestlers and it is now becoming clear. This has been a staple and a driving motivation for our team. Having three girls, five champions on the boys’ side, and a total of 21 state qualifiers makes all the hard work gratifying. We are confident this team will perform to the goals they have set for themselves.”
He finished with “These boys and girls are ready to battle.”
Good luck to both schools this weekend at State Wrestling.
