The Jonathan Law wrestling team has had a very successful season this year.

With a 17-15 record, assistant coach Mr. Ruzbarsky is happy with the season the Lawmen had.

Ruzbarsky had many goals for this past season, which included 20 wins and five open qualifiers. While they didn’t quite reach the 20 wins, the team did have five boys go on to State Opens.

The five that made it to Opens were sophomore Troy Anderson, sophomore Aisiah Rodriguez, sophomore, sophomore Shane McCourt, junior Alexi Giantomidis, and junior Kevin Brocksom.

Brocksom not only made Opens; he also went All-State. He is the first to do this at Law in four years.

Brocksom has been wrestling for eight years, and his goal for this year was to go All-State. Brocksom said he is happy with the season he had.

Brocksom plans to “hit better shots” next year in hopes to improve on his wrestling.

Ruzbarsky has been coaching for nine years and began coaching because he was previously a wrestler at Jonathan Law. He wanted to coach students going through the same path that he did. Ruzbarsky plans to have an even more successful season next year.

“We will work on a lot more technique and will have longer practices along with strength training,” Ruzbarsky said.

Junior Jack Pincus-Coyle decided to join the wrestling team this past season. Before he wrestled for Law, his winter season was occupied by swimming.

Pincus-Coyle said he has always wanted to wrestle, and he is glad he decided to do it this year. “

Ever since I joined the wrestling team this year I feel that I am part of a close group of kids that I can call family,” Pincus-Coyle said.

Junior Cole Egersheim has been on the wrestling team since he was a freshman. This past season he had a few personal goals, one of which was to get 25 wins.

Egersheim reached this goal, and finished with a total of 26 wins. Next year, he wants to beat his record from this year, and plans on doing this by, “taking practice time more serious and working hard throughout the season.”
