Alden High School’s Varsity Wrestling team hit the mats last week. The team has been practicing all week to ensure that this small team has the best season possible.  Alden’s Varsity team is known for the immense amount of effort and time that is put into the sport that they love. This team will fight as hard as they can, in an effort to make their fellow wrestlers and fellow Bulldogs proud.

The team this year consists of five members. These include only three upperclassmen, the other two being younger athletes. Owen Kissell will be a key factor this year for the success of the team. Owen is coming back for his fourth year on Varsity and is still going strong. Another major contributor this year will be senior, Alex Handley. Alex Handley is going to be very essential to the talent and prowess of the Alden Varsity Wrestling team. Varsity Wrestling will be kicking off their season on Wednesday  November 30, 2016. The team will be facing the Cheektowaga Warriors. The Warriors will be hoping to come to Alden and pull out a win, but they have not met the brute force of the Alden Varsity Wrestling.
