TITAN WRESTLING

A new era begins at South Central Calhoun on the wrestling mats, as Jeff King and Colin Corey replace Lance Schultz as co-head coaches.

Both have plenty of experience on the mats for the Titans, as Corey had been an assistant for six years and King four under Schultz.

Seniors Justin Rohlfing, Riley Timmerman and Levi Evanoski are back, along with junior state qualifier Zach Trott and district qualifier Brock Nattress.

Rohlfing, who is 81-32 in his career, is a two-time Twin Lakes Conference champion and has qualified twice for state. Timmerman owns 56 career wins, while Trott is 82-25.

“We look to get back to the success we’ve had in the past,” King said. “We have individuals with district and state experience, and we also have several returning wrestlers who have either won a tournament or were in the finals. We look for all of them to improve.”

Kolin Folsom, Naylan Gulbranson, David Melody, Daniel Melody, Case Korleski, Kaden Dorman and Mi chael Trott all earned valuable experience a year ago.

“Our numbers are up, which should create competition for a varsity spot,” Corey said. “That will help us improve as the season progresses. Many of our wrestlers have been in this program for over 10 years now and have had great success through our little kids program and at AAU state tournaments.”

JAGUAR WRESTLING

Following the graduation of a deep senior class, the Southeast Valley wrestling program will look to keep the momentum going forward.

The Jaguars return Caelan Oakes-Sudhish, who finished eighth at state as a junior, along with Kaden Holder, Caleb Will and Nate Graves. Kyle Johnson is back after missing his 11th-grade campaign with an injury.

“After graduating nine solid seniors out of the Southeast Valley starting lineup, the Jaguars will be in complete rebuilding mode as the team looks to fill holes in the lineup,” SV head coach Jeff Miller said. “Getting most of the weight classes filled is a key. Younger kids without a lot of experience will have to step up and compete at the varsity level.

“Caelan will be looked upon to lead the younger kids.”

Oakes-Sudhish won 43 matches a year ago, while Holder won 29, Will 23 and Graves six.

The Jaguars won 25 of their 28 duals they competed in.
