Hunter Davis calmly attempts to work his opponent's shoulder into mat during competition at the Thoman tournament Friday afternoon.
Brett Stenton maneuvers his opponent into a much more advantageous position during competition against Kemmerer. Stanton would win the match after pinning his opponent.
Monday afternoon, head coach Josh Wisniewski was having his boys work on their bridging.
"Keep your shoulders off the mat," he ordered as they worked through the drills. "Try to stay in your bridge."
The drills come after two close losses to Worland and Cheyenne East Saturday during the Thoman Soda Ash Memorial wrestling tournament.
"We gave up to many pins this weekend," he said.
While the coach said it's never fun losing duals, he does see a lot of improvement from his boys compared to where they were at the start of the season. Wisniewski said the wrestlers are on their feet more and have improved their takedowns and shot defense. While he said they need to improve their bottom positions and fighting off their backs, Wisniewski is happy with where the team is performing at this point in the season.
"We're right where we need to be," he said.
The coach credits his coaching staff for helping get the team ready for the upcoming competition they face, saying he's lucky to have them on the staff. The great technicians coaching the Wolves will only make them stronger as the final weeks of the season approach.
"We're just going to keep improving the areas we need to improve," Wisniewski said.
The Wolves will take on Evanston Thursday. Wisniewski said the Red Devils are always a strong team to contend with.
"It's always great to compete with those guys, we have a lot of respect for them," he said.
