Brewster's wrestlers, and their coaches, are condfident and excited about Saturday's divisionals.

"[We're feeling] pretty optimistic," Coach Michael Ford said. "We have our guys that we're expecting certain things out of and some other guys we're hoping to get things out of. Kind of excited to see them come through."

"We try to crank up the intensity this time of year because we have big tournaments coming up," Coach Tom Looby said. "So we'll go a little harder but we'll cut down on the length of practice."

Ford and Looby said the team's chemistry—and ability to stay relaxed while working hard—is a big strength.
