The Hampton Duals wrestling tournament will be held on Dec. 8 at Hampton High School. The Hampton Duals tournament consists of five wrestling matches against different schools.
“We’re going to wrestle some great competition, and we’re going to take some losses over the weekend. It’s an opportunity to see where we’re weak and where we need work to get better. Our ultimate goal is always, and always has been, and always will be, the postseason in February,” Coach Joel Gilbert said.
Altoona went 1-4 last year taking the seventh spot out of 10 teams. Gilbert believes with the leadership of senior Wyatt Young, junior Luke Sipes and sophomores Braiden Weaver and sophomore Phillip Sarbo, they can have a good run this year and win a lot of matches.
