A good veteran nucleus anchors a youthful Lyndonville wrestling squad which is prepping for a season opening tournament at Byron-Bergen on Saturday.
Highlighting the Tigers early season will be the annual Fred Large Memorial Tournament on December 13. The Tigers will also host Pavilion/York and St. Mary’s in a non league double dual match on December 10.
The Tigers veteran group includes seniors Justin Holmes, Grayson Romano and Ben Doolan along with juniors Brody Hazel, Shannon Withey, Michael Alexander and sophomore Chance Amsdill. Withey, Hazel and Amsdill all had 20 plus win seasons last year.
Lyndonville’s key graduation loss was Ty Holmes.
“We’ve got a good core group back and it is a young group. Youth is on our side,” said Jim Zeliff who co-coaches the Tigers with Joe Suhr.
The Tigers Genesee Region League opener is December 17 at home against Alexander.
