Young but experienced Cougars return to the mat

WARDEN — Warden wrestlers will be back competing against tough competition at the Eastern Washington Athletic Conference this week. This year, the two teams are striving to reach new heights despite returning to a young roster. “We’re a young group and being a small school we get a lot of kids who like to try wrestling so (our goal is) getting those kids to blossom,” said Cougars Boys Head Coach Johnny Hernandez. “One of my favorite parts of doing this is just being able to see where these kids start and then where they finish and it’s amazing to see sometimes.”
