Kenmore East and West's combined wrestling team returns a strong core from last year's group that went 7-14 overall, including a 4-3, fourth-place finish in the Niagara Frontier League.

Head coach Bill Hineman, now in his eighth year at the helm, said while the team lost two graduates from a year ago, including Nolan Sander, who won 29 matches and finished fourth at sectionals in the 195-pound weight class as a senior, three all-league performers are back with another year of experience under their belts.
