Landon 2011-2012 Wrestling Recap and IL ranks Bears Lax #10 (plus opponents highly rated)

Review  of the Landon wrestling season by Coach Katz and Inside Lacrosse announces it preseason top 25 High School lax teams on a  national basis. Bears #10 and facing seven teams on the list are season and preseason foes!

From Coach Andy Katz—

We were a very young team this year.  It was comprised of 1 Senior, 2 Juniors, 8 Sophomores, and 10 Freshmen.  At any one point, we started at least 7 freshmen.  The freshmen class is probably the best freshmen class that I have had in my experience at Landon.  We should be very tough over the next three years and beyond, as both the freshmen and sophomore classes have committed themselves to being better wrestlers and team mates.  Our captains for next year are Jackson Howard and Jack Albrittain.
