Coach Carlini believes that the varsity matmen are having a fair season so far. He also stated, "There is not enough depth, probably due to the loss of one letterman with an injury and because several key wrestlers quit." Coach Carlini concluded by remarking, "Our toughest opponents this year will definitely be East Leyden."
