SPRING VALLEY

Head coach: Fred Meyer, 14th season

Returning lettermen: Eight

Top wrestlers: Andres Garcia (Jr.), Ryan Mitchell (So.), Brisean Cunningham (Sr.), Daniel Hristov (So.), Jeremy Pakulak (So.), Porter Abbott (Jr.), Michael Canada (Jr.), T.Z. Yehudah (Jr.), Elijah Brooks (Jr.)

Outlook: Garcia, who likely will wrestle at 138 pounds, was a third-place finisher in last year’s Sunset Region meet.

Mitchell (106) and Cunningham (145) each placed fourth in the region meet last year. They’re among eight returning lettermen for the Grizzlies, who expect most of their top wrestlers to be sophomores and juniors.

“We are hoping to win some matches this season,” Meyer said. “Our team would like to challenge for the Southwest League title as well as place as many kids as we can in the regional and state tournaments.”
