HAUGHTON: The Buccaneers did not take home any championships from the state wrestling meet but they picked up something useful for down the road — experience.
"We've got a young team," coach Kyle Wilkerson said. "We're losing only two seniors. The experience of those guys going down and competing and seeing what state was about hopefully will bode well for us."
It helps to have someone like Alex Flores to build around. As a freshman, Flores, whose older brother, Ernesto, was one of the Bucs seniors, won the 125-pound regional championship and finished fourth in the state.
"We're hoping that he builds on that success and we're looking for some big things out of him in the future," Wilkerson said.
Flores won't be alone, however.
"We definitely have some depth coming back next year," Wilkerson said. "Hopefully, next year will be a big stepping stone for us to have some tournament success and do well in state."
