2014-15 Virgin Valley Wrestling Capsule

VIRGIN VALLEY

Head coach: Skyler Woods, sixth season

Returning lettermen: Eight

Top wrestlers: Jacob Baird (So.), Juan Dominguez (Sr.), Cash Crandall (Sr.), Broc Smith (Sr.), Hector Garcia (Sr.)

Outlook: The Bulldogs return four wrestlers who placed in the top four in last year’s Division I-A state meet, including a pair of state champions in Baird (expected to wrestle at 113 pounds) and Dominguez (120).

Smith (160) was a state runnerup, and Crandall (126) placed fourth in the state.

Garcia (285) also should be among the leaders after finishing second in the Southern Region meet.

“We head into this season with very high expectations,” Woods said. “We have a very experienced group of core guys and some grant talent.

“We had a very good offseason getting in a large number of matches and hope to apply that experience this season.”
