Back To The Mat

By: Andre Gordon, Sports Reporter

The Francis Lewis High School wrestling team is back on the mat again and all WJPS and Francis Lewis High School students are eligible to join the team. All genders are allowed to join and no need to try out because it is a walk-on team. 

The only thing necessary to be able to join the team is a sports medical form. You’ll be able to find them at the nurses office at Francis Lewis High School or at the main office at WJPS.

Practices are held at Francis Lewis High School in gym three at 4:00pm, Monday through Friday. The head coach of the wrestling team is Coach Herrera. 

WJPS 10th grader Robert Mirashi said, “I love it honestly, it’s a quiet place and I can grind in silence. It’s my first year so I can’t wait to see where it takes me.”

WJPS 10th grader Zack Troumouhis said, “It’s given me something to look forward to every day and it taught me to be disciplined not only in the wrestling room, but outside it.”
