Othello Girls Wrestling Team: Welcome

Welcome to our new site!!  We are very pleased that you have decided to visit us.  Our team has only been in existence for three years.  We are still young but are very determined. Here we have the team roster, stats, and scheduals.  Please feel free to sign our guest book.

“It isn’t a lonely existence so much as a select one, and the wrestling coaches and parents and fans use that fact as a sort of proof of virtue; wrestlers are better than other athletes because their drive is so pure, because their pursuit is so solitary. So few people outside their closed society of fellow wrestlers could ever begin to understand the sacrifices they make in order to simply get on the mat, much less compete and win.”
