WRESTLING PREVIEW: BLUEBIRDS TAKING BABY STEPS TOWARD GETTING BETTER

Kenwood Bluebirds

Head coach: Rob Knudsen, 10th year (91-18 career)

Assistant coach: Dave Ingle

JV coach: Tom Ferrell

Last year’s record: 11-4.

Top wrestlers: Rob Jenkins, Sr., 125; D.J. Moran, Soph., 112; Hector Montoya, Sr., 160; Cody Moran, 130, Soph.; Tom Thrasher, Sr., 119; Mike Merenda, Sr., 125; Bernie Eckert, Soph., 130; Matt Gibson, Sr., 215.

Outlook: “This year’s team is young, and we are rebuilding,” said Ingle. Jenkins won 20 bouts and was sixth and counties and regions. Moran and Montoya won 12, and, 10 bouts, respectively, with Montonya having been “wrestling
out of his weight class for 3 years,” still managing to “hang the 171, and, 189 pounders,” Ingle said. 

“We should field a full squad and there will be lots
of enthusiasm,” Ingle said.  “Look for Rob Jenkins and
Hector Montoya to do well with Cody Moran and D.J. Moran making big
improvements as the year goes on.”
