2014-15 Shadow Ridge Wrestling Capsule

SHADOW RIDGE

Head coach: Gus Gledhill, eighth season

Returning lettermen: Fourteen

Top wrestlers: John Scarpati (Sr.), A.J. Thai-Bautista (Sr.), Austin Jones (Sr.), Ethan Peterson (Jr.), Brendt Burleson (Jr.), Tyler Carter (Jr.), Uziel D’Mattus (Sr.), Lucas Washington (Sr.)

Outlook: Scarpati, who likely will wrestle at 182 pounds this year, placed third at last year’s state meet, and Peterson (138) took fourth at the state meet.

Thai-Bautista (106) and Jones (152) placed fourth in the Sunset Region meet and will help a Mustang team that has plenty of experience.

“We are looking to improve upon our fourth-place finish at state last year,” Gledhill said. “We get some key kids back at the 220 and heavyweight spots who were injured last year and feel this can be one of our better lineups since we have been here at Shadow Ridge.

“We are just trying to compete with the Green Valleys, Cimarron-Memorials and Spring Valleys, the great programs from Las Vegas.”
