With two weeks of winter vacation starting Friday, many Redhawk students and staff are looking forwards to a break from school, homework, and other related activities.
But not Redhawks wrestling. The team heads to Independence HS Thursday to participate in City Duals before hosting Lebanon Trail, Witehouse, and Lovejoy in a quad for their senior night on Jan. 6.
“I want to be heading in the right direction,” head coach Justin Koons said. “We have to concentrate on a few things and not get overcomplicated, so you will see the basics.”
Similarly, junior Esther Essien will be relying on improvements from the last couple meets to help her team.
“We’re going against good schools and people who will definitely push us,” Essien said. “I’m very strong and I’ve conditioned well which allows me to not gas out as easily, but these events will still challenge us.”
