Wrestling Season Kicks Off

Jack Ludtke

In this, the last Armchair Athlete of the 2011 calendar year, our subject is the new wrestling season. The wrestling team’s 2010-2011 year was full of ups and downs to say the least. Projected in the preseason to continue their dominance from a 22-3 2009-2010 campaign, last year’s squad went 7-14 with fewer FCIAC State award recipients. However, there were some signs of hope last year, as a strong underclass combined with a surprise FCIAC bid has set them up for some high expectations for the upcoming year.

As colorful leaves are replaced with bare trees and runny noses, there is a seemingly more significant change occurring in the halls of New Canaan High School. It is the end of fall sports and the beginning of the winter season, a time when students will trade in footballs for hockey sticks and much more.

Senior Editor

Hopes of a fifth State Championship in six years came to an end on Saturday, December 10th, as the Rams came out on the wrong side of a 34-10 affair, being dominated on both sides of the ball by second-seeded Daniel Hand. Two unbelievable comeback victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals set up a championship game battle with the Tigers, a rematch of last year’s semifinal game, in which the Rams eliminated Hand 39-21. On this night, however, the Rams couldn’t muster up any more magic, and their season came to an unfortunate end with the loss.

The focus of this week’s Armchair Athlete is the Boys Basketball team and their new season, and what is on the Ram’s schedule this week.

Boys Basketball

This year’s team looks to bounce back from last’s years dissapointing season in which they went 4-15 in their CIAC League and 5-15 overall, and were outscored by 167 points, giving up a total of 1198 points overall. However, it wasn’t all bad as the season included two dominating wins over Darien, and then-Captain Chris Rama earning a spot on the All-FCIAC East 1st Team. This years squad, captained by seniors Nick Depuy and Connor KIlbane, now looks to improve their record and build around their young talent, and make a run at their first state title since 1962.
