The biggest lesson in life is failure. You only have two choices. Quit or Rise up! 1% is our hard work motto. Get 1% better everyday, 1 second better, then one minute, now on hour, till you start getting better by the day. Two claps and a WHOOOOOO! For Raziel Gutierrez who knocked down some top kids in the state 5A and 6A along with Rakyah Hudson who also showed true grit this week.

It’s not about one or two… it takes a team sweating and grinding out to be ready!
District …. HERE WE COME!

Why Wrestling is the Perfect Offseason Sport for High School Football Players

High school football players are always looking for ways to improve their game. Here's why wrestling could be the perfect sport for football players during the offseason.

1. Strength: Wrestling builds functional strength, which is crucial for football. The constant grappling and lifting in wrestling directly enhances upper body and core strength, which are vital for blocking, tackling, and maintaining balance.

2. Endurance: Wrestling matches demand high cardiovascular fitness. This endurance translates well to the stamina required for a football game, where every play counts.

3. Technique: Learning how to take down an opponent in wrestling can improve a football player's tackling ability. The footwork, balance, and body control learned in wrestling are directly applicable to football.

4. Agility: Wrestling drills often enhance lateral movements and quick changes in direction, which are key skills in football.

5. Mental Toughness: Unlike team sports where you can blend into the background, wrestling puts you in direct competition with an opponent. This fosters mental toughness, resilience, and the ability to think under pressure, all of which are invaluable in football.

Encourage a football player to wrestle this winter!
