With weeks to prepare for the District 11 wrestling tournament, Liberty hopes that injuries and their psyche have healed after bowing out of the District 11 team tournament a few weeks ago.
The Hurricanes look to get back on the mats, eager to prove themselves again when districts gets underway this Friday and Saturday at Memorial Gymnasium.
“We got banged up at team districts and I am trying to get the team at full strength again,” said head coach Jody Karam.
Karam projects to have a full lineup this weekend with the listed wrestlers below competing at their respective weights: Connor Werner (106); Tal-Reese Flemming (113); Matthew Maloney (120); Michael Torres (126); Travis Brown (132); Christian Reid (138); Jason Rezac (145); Nicholas Santiago (152); Alexander Cruz (160); Joshua Talijan (170); Kevin Hennessy (182); Damen Moyer (195); Jake Ahmad (220) and Jaden Freeman (HWT).
Moyer is a returning district champion from a year ago and will look to make it back-to-back, while Maloney reached the finals last year but settled for silver. Karam likes the chances of both them to get back to the championship round, along with Flemming, who took third at districts last season.
