Seabreeze wrestling's Mike Fries has had some challenges in his first season as the head coach of the team. Of all the kids who returned to the team this year, none had a winning record from the previous year.
That's since changed.
Three Sandcrabs now have at least 20 wins on the season: Victory Lispey has a 22-6 record, Brock Roberts is 27-10 and Devin Stickney is 24-10.
The Sandcrabs, which won the Ray Hollingsworth Tournament on Jan. 26, competed in the 33rd-annual Flagler Rotary wrestling tournament on Feb. 1-2 at Flagler Palm Coast High School. The Sandcrabs placed 17th out of 25 teams.
Fries said his team did well — considering their lack of experience.
"I knew it would be a little bit of a challenge," he said. "The kids have really exceeded all my expectations for this season. They're stepping up, working hard to meet all of their goals."
