Women’s wrestling team began its season on Nov. 22. , with a new head coach in Webster alumni Reed Ditker. Following this, its next meet was on Jan. 31, a tournament at Seckman High School.
“The team has had fantastic growth so far this season,” Coach James LeMay said
“With the team being a mixture of inexperienced and experienced players, I feel the team is really good at adapting to new situations that they’re put in,” LeMay said.
About the new head coach, LeMay said, “I had to take a step down this year.”
About what was different from this season, LeMay said, “The amount of women competing, the experience across the team.”
LeMay said the team needed to improve most “in refining their individual skillsets.”
For example sophomore Amelia Beatty said, “This year, I’m looking to improve my offensive work and shot confidence, so I can better score during matches.”
LeMay appreciates “how much the team truthfully desires to get better, which makes it a lot easier for us to grow as a team.”
LeMay said, “The team’s strategy is to prepare them for any situation and help them compete at the highest level.”
LeMay most looks forward to Districts. “It’s because this when you see what all of the team’s hard work is for, and everyone might want to say ‘State’ for this question, but I focus on Districts, because it shows what level you can compete at, as well you obviously can’t get to State without making it through districts first.”
Beatty agreed, “I’m really looking forward to Districts this year. We have a really great women’s team that’s been working hard, and I think that will definitely show at Districts.”
Overall LeMay said he has “a wonderful group of hardworking players that complements the boy’s team very well.”
