Wood Wrestling Faces Youth as Colonels Prepare for Dual Season
James Wood braces for a leaner, younger lineup after losing five top wrestlers from last season. Sophomores Jimmy Whitmer, Terry Boyd, Robbie Golightly, Mitch Bragg, Eddie Richard, and Steve Galliday step into larger roles while seniors Creasy, Chrisman, and Lawrence anchor key weights. Coach Willie Walters notes potential at 119 to 138 pounds but warns depth is thinner and lightweights must rise. The team aims for strong tournament showings as doors open at Handley tomorrow night.
