Things are looking up for the Yough wrestling team. Numbers are up, expectations are high and the work in the wrestling room has been something that has third-year coach Eric Bush excited about the upcoming season.

“We are getting closer to filling a full lineup and it’s with guys who work hard, not just take up space,” Bush said. “Jake Sever and George Tusing are two of our captains and they play football. They’ve worked hard to recruit more of their football buddies for the wrestling team.”
