Other seniors: Moises Avila, Zach Kirkpatrick Impact newcomers: Aidan Villarreal, Trevor Wagner, Daniel Faaeteete Larson’s expectations: “I expect every individual to come prepared to work hard and be a good teammate. Show up to practice with a small goal every day, when you walk out of the wrestling room you are a little better than when you walked in. The wrestling season is a grind; our guys have to be prepared to push them- selves out of their comfort zone each and every day they are on the mat. I want excited wrestlers that want to entertain our fans and put on a show, hardnosed kids that enjoy a good fight. I’m not huge on making predictions at districts or state, but if our guys work hard, leave the room better every day, we will be prepared for the postseason.” Pendleton Buckaroos Head coach: Fred Phillips, 17th season Assistant coaches: Steve Utter, 23rd season; Erik Davis, 6th season Returning: Caleb Tremper (113), jr.; Brendan Bedolla (152), sr.; Alex Rendon (138), sr.; Chris Chambers (132), jr.; Koby Jones (132), jr.; Blake Davis (152), jr.; John Swaggart (152), jr.; Ian Bannister (170), jr.; Aiden Patterson (170), jr.; Aiden Henderson (220), jr.
