Wrestling Primer for 2008-09

The 2009-09 season is about to begin for the Independence Eagles wrestling team. This year the team is looking forward to not only duplicating their accomplishments from last year, but surpass them. Last season the Eagles stunned many in the mid-state and the state as a whole by capturing Region 6 Duals Champions, Region 6 Individual Champions and placing 4th at the State Duals meet. This season Coach Grindstaff's returns much of the talent that accomplished those feats and adds some younger talent to replace those that left and continuing building a strong program for the future of Independence wrestling. Nine Seniors return to the team this year, with four being state qualifiers and up. The leaders of the pack would be three time state qualifier and fifth in the state last year at 119 lbs is Chase Beazley. Another leader in the Eagles team is two time state qualifier Thomas Berry at the 215 lbs class. Taylor Dixon is another senior with experience at state. Dixon is a two time state qualifier and placed 6th overall at last year's state meet in the 160 lbs class. Senior Chris Sinsheimer, who placed 4th last year at state, is another senior who is already a two time state qualifier. Others looking to give support for this strong team is Junior Heavyweight and state qualifier from 2008 Dalton Burge. A mainstay the past two season for the Eagles football program on the offensive line Burge looks again to qualify for state at the heavyweight level despite top competition from other area programs in that weight class.

Coach Grindstaff is looking forward to this season and the Eagles wrestling community is as well. We wish the team all the best this 2008-09 season.
