2014-15 Canyon Springs Wrestling Capsule

CANYON SPRINGS

Head coach: Max Quezada, second season

Returning lettermen: Nine

Top wrestlers: Johnathan Barajas (Sr.), Julian Leos (Sr.), Stevenson Williams (Jr.)

Outlook: The Pioneers found a lot of motivation late last season when Roosevelt Smith won the school’s first state wrestling individual title, placing first at 182 pounds.

Smith graduated, but the Pioneers hope to continue building.

“We are looking to use that momentum and have a couple more state champs this season,” Quezada said. “Also, with a motivated and dedicated freshman and sophomore class, we are looking to be a top team in the next couple of seasons.”
