Season Preview: 157 & 165:

Three different wrestlers will have a shot at topping the Keydet depth chart at 157 lbs.  Sophomore Joe Munno is expected to move up from 149 lbs., where he wrestled 28 matches a season ago.  A placewinner at the Southern Conference Championships as a freshman, Munno will be challenged by fellow sophomore Matt Brock.  Brock saw a considerable amount of time on the mat last season for the Keydets and could be a force to be reckoned with this year.

At 165 lbs., the Keydets will likely count on a freshman with a strong pedigree to man the weight class in 2009-10.  Conor Black was a two-time Virginia AAA State placewinner for Mountain View, placing third as a senior at 171 lbs.  In his career, Black went 172-27, holding the school’s career marks for wins, takedowns, technical falls and pins, coming in with 100 in his four years.  Regarded as a hard-working, aggressive grappler, Black will be pushed in the practice room by Bryce Garrison, a transfer who wrestled for three-time defending AAA State Champions Colonial Forge in high school.
