Wrestling  is a journey where students develop many skills and characteristics. A wrestler must have dedication, passion, hard work ethic and commitment.  They have acquired these attributes by the support of their wrestling family. A wrestler does not only take the experience of the sport, but the friendship with fellow students. This year’s wrestling team had nine students qualify for state and will leave everything they have on the mat. They have prepared with hard work and refined skills throughout this winter season.

Phoenix High School finished at a third place 12- team regional in Hidden Valley with five wrestlers. Current junior wrestler Ezra DeLuca was the only phoenix pirate to move forward to championship. There was four phoenix pirates wrestlers who won their third-place matches which includes Jackie Hawkins, Dalton Samis, Elijah Santana, Joey Wilson, and Emma Truex. From accomplishing goals to being qualified for state what an amazing experience for the Phoenix High School pirates. Patrick Calhoun said, “It’s really fun, but also a commitment. It definitely prepared me and although the practices were challenging it allowed me to get in shape for competitions. There were lows and highs, but it makes up for a great experience.” They have put such hard work ethic for the Phoenix High School wrestling team and it has been phenomenal!
