Aztec Wrestling Nation Newsletter #1 2022-2023 12/5/2022
A new high school season starts with Coach Stinson starting his 49th year, with much promise as well as high expectations. Last week saw the mid-school season come to a close, ending with yet another Middle School Basin Championship for Koogler. This is their 17th Basin Championship overall and 3rd in a row. Once again, Coach Griego and Coach Olguin led their team to a decisive win on Saturday. The high school season started on Saturday with its annual JV Round Robin for the boys, and the girls at Farmington High School for the first Lady Scorpions Invite. The Varsity will start next week.
