In this story you will hear from Varsity Wrestling Co-Head Coach, Jeron Lieser. This is Lieser’s first year as head coach of the Spartans wrestling squad. Although the team has a good group of seniors, their overall participation is less than years past. This means each wrestler will have to put in that little extra effort in order for the team to be successful this year. However, if there is any group of kids that can do it, it is surely our ROCORI Spartans. Coach Lieser, the rest of the staff, and the entire team would like to encourage the community to get on out to all of their home matches and root them on. They truly appreciate your support.
