Senior James Nash is victorious in his duel against his Spencer County High School opponent on the senior night home match on Jan. 23. Successes by seniors on the wrestling team like this one reflect the especially hard work they have endured this season, not only to embrace their last opportunity to become a Regional Champion and/or State Place winner but to serve as an example for underclassmen on the team, so they will be inspired to train and prepare equally as vigorously, although most younger members have already done so independently of older role models. "My original reason [for joining the team] was to win and make myself better, but it changed. My new motivation is to inspire others and make others better, and not only my team but others as well," said senior Patrick Netherton.

One of the members of the wrestling team competes against a wrestler from Taylor County High School at a home match on Jan. 9. Although Bullitt East did not win the competition, each member's participation further prepared them for the Regions and State tournaments in February, in which they are working towards becoming a champion in, by allowing them to realize their weaknesses and improve upon those during the remainder of the season. "After each competition, we point out what the wrestlers do well and what mistakes each wrestler has to correct and work on," said the wrestling coach, Tom Wells.
