  This season, the team is looking forward to participating in some high profile events, such as competing in Virginia, WRAL Tournament, and Knightdale Duals. When asked about how the team stacks up against the competition in the area, Coach Von Hoene said “On paper or in theory we should be the team to beat (due to the comparably large numbers of returners that we have) but we haven’t earned anything yet and the season is still VERY young.  I hope that we are able to be competitive and outwork our opponents.” The team has high expectations and is working very hard to meet each and every one of them.

    The Knights headed out to C.B. Aycock November 21st to participate in the 2009 Falcon Invitational Tournament. The team put up a great effort and ended up getting 4th place as a school. They also had several individual wrestlers place. Drew Lopez 119 lbs, Parker Baucom 130 lbs, Zack Russel 160 lbs, and Nick McClelland 171 all got 3rd place in their weight classes. Saul Vega 215 lbs, took home gold by placing 1st.
