It will be a new adventure and a “new frontier” so to speak  in 2016 for the newly formed ACGC Charger wrestling team under the direction of head coach Shawn Danker.

Coach Danker and his Charger team are coming up on two full weeks of practice under their collective belts and just like any team, there are some hills and valleys, ups and downs. Coach Danker sat down with Raccoon Valley Radio touching on some of his teams strengths and some of his teams weaknesses heading into the first meet.

“I’d say our strength right now is that we have quite a few weights filled and good quality kids at most every weight (class). Our biggest challenge is our depth; don’t get hurt, don’t get sick, those types of things and keep healthy. That’s a big thing for them themselves and us as coaches gotta keep kids as healthy as possible,” explained coach Danker.

First meet for the Chargers will take place on Thursday, December 1st which will be a home meet welcoming in East Union, Nodaway Valley, and West Central Valley high schools. The meet will commence beginning at 5:30 pm.
