Season outlook: Increased numbers have the Falcons expecting to fill all of the weight classes and challenge for a state title this year. Austin won the 126 gold last year, while Eddie DeRoche, Boucher and Therrian were medalists. Austin and Boucher rank 1-2 in the school’s all-time win column. If the younger wrestlers improve with experience, they could be a factor at the big meets at the end of the season.
