Tis the season to start pinning. The Madison Boys Wrestling team starts off their 2017-2018 season this Saturday, December 2nd, 2017 at 9 am. The team is traveling to Aurora High School to compete in the Aurora Tournament Duels. This is the first year Madison has participated in  the Aurora tournament, this is a starting point of the boys season. The main purpose of the of the match is to see where the team is at and what they need physically, mentally, and as a team.  

Coach Tomaso said, “This match is a building block on the season to see what the team is good at and what they need to improve on. And obviously to win this tournament we have to wrestle hard and very well.” The teams that are participating in the Aurora Tournament Duels are Madison, Aurora, Padua, and North Royalton.

Jack Whaley, the assistant principal of Madison High School, has always been a huge fan of the wrestling team. He has his expectations for Saturdays match. “My expectations for the beginning of the season is to be in better shape than the other opponents. It gives them a chance to win. As the season goes on it also gives the coaches a chance to work on technique to get them better. I have seen a lot of these kids work hard in the off season and that will help with the tournament this weekend.”

Captain, Brody Arrundale, said that he is ready to put all his work into this tournament and that he is ready to put Aurora, Padua, and North Royalton in their place. Everyone has their eyes on the wrestling team this year. Everyone is expecting a great season from these boys from all the hard work they have put in.
