SILVERADO

Head coach: Vernon Schultz, first season

Returning lettermen: Six

Top wrestlers: Justin Miller (Sr.), Dean Doss (Jr.), R.J. Berdiago (Jr.), Garen Gonzalez (Jr.), Lawson Borla (Jr.), Drake Furlong-Hansen (So.), Anthony Canedo (So.)

Outlook: Schultz, who previously coached at Canyon Springs, inherits a team with six returning lettermen.

“Silverado will be a young team with lots of potential,” Schultz said. “We are hoping to develop all of our young wrestlers quickly, and we have some very athletic first-year upperclassman that could develop into solid wrestlers at the varsity level.

“We are hoping to rebuild the wrestling program into a powerhouse, and with the establishment of a new youth program, the future looks bright.”
