Under classmen dominate the lineup as the Albion wrestling squad begins tuning up for the Niagara-Orleans League season by hosting Byron-Bergen at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Freshman Stryker Sanders, who competed in the state championships last year going 34-6 overall including 2-2 at the states, heads the Purple Eagles veteran group.
That contingent also includes juniors Jaxson Lynch, Jackson Snook, Alakai Colmenero, Kaiser Allport along with sophomores Corbin Piccirilli, Drake Schomski and freshmen Justin Mengs. Lynch, Schomske and Mengs all had 20 plus win seasons.
“We’ve got good numbers and I think we’re a little stronger this year,” said Coach Mike Sanders. “We’re still building and we’re still young but weight class wise I think we’re pretty well spread out.”
The Purple Eagles will open the N-O season at Wilson on December 10.
