Coach wishes to expand junior high wrestling program next year

Kimball’s junior high wrestling team ended the year with several grapplers placing at meets across the region.

According to head Coach Klent Schnell, the year began with 11 wrestlers, but those were quickly reduced to eight due to injuries, transfers and eligibility requirements.

The team wrestled best as a team early in the season, Schnell said, and he added, that he believes they should have about 15 young men out for wrestling in the future.

“We had some kids that have never wrestled and showed some great potential the first couple of meets,” he said.
