Central is strong this year. Very strong. The team is also young. This is bad news for the rest of Western Mass. Minnechaug found out how deep Central was tonight when they faced off against them at The Central gym. It seemed to start out well for Minnechaug when the Falcon's Brian Lawler pinned Central's [...]
Tonight the Golden Eagles square off against the Minnechaug Falcons in what could prove to be an interesting matchup. Minnechaug upset Longmeadow last week in a wild match in Longmeadow's gym.

The first week of practice has come and gone. The guys have persevered through the drilling and conditioning with surprisingly few dropouts and the week ended with well over 50 wrestlers . The coaches are starting to get a feel for where the guys are technically and physically and beginning to discuss potential starting lineups. [...]
Coaches yelling, guys sweating, freshman looking ready to vomit, IT's WRESTLING TIME!!!!!!!!! 52 guys showed up for the first day of practice and by the end of it, some of the new guys looked like they were wondering why they ever came out. The first thing I saw as I entered the practice area were [...]
