Rocky Mountain wrestling, a team that has been around since the opening of Rocky Mountain high school in 2008, has explored excellence ever since the start. With the season changing marks the start of wrestling season.
Last season was full of many great moments like, having multiple state placers, three champions at the Tim Mathews tournament, and many more. However, head Coach Guy Bullock is ready to blow expectations and last season out of the water. When asking Coach Bullock about what kind of big tournaments the team will be attending.
Coach Bullock stated: “The boys will be going to the Tri State tournament up at North Idaho college in Coeur d’Alene, and the girls will be going to the Reno Tournament of Champions.” He continued to say that these would be the biggest tournaments the team would be rolling into.
To reinstate the excitement of the upcoming season I spoke with varsity sophomore wrestler Tyler Irish.
Tyler suggested wrestling to the average person who is on the fence about the sport: “Wrestling for me has been a great escape from anything bad going on in my life… the team has also helped me make friends and lifelong bonds I would’ve never made before.”
Although wrestling is an extremely tough sport you can see the type of impact it has on people who have the courage to join the team like Tyler, why should you wrestle? It’s simple, when speaking with Coach Bullock he said, “it’s a great way to test your limits and see what your made of and set goals and try to accomplish high level goals.”
With the season coming to a start, Rocky Mountain looks to have a great season of success, fun, team bonding, and high-level growth towards whatever goals the athletes have set.

This is a great article. It really shows the fun in wrestling and the events our team contributes to. I think it can show some people how fun it can be and get them to maybe try wrestling. And the quote from Tyler shows how you can create friendship like no other.

I believe wrestling is a very good skill to have because it lets students have some sort of background in self defense. It also teaches many wrestlers hard things like Coach Bullock saying that it would be the biggest tournament the team would be rolling into.

I found this article very interesting because I’ve always thought that wrestling was only for the kids who have been doing it from an early age but reading about a varsity wrestler recommending it to the average person has changed my view on it. I like to see my team win in any sport so I’m exited to see coach Guy Bullock make this a winning team.

I think wrestling is one of the best sports a teen or anyone can participate in because as coach bullock said, “it’s a great way to test your limits and see what your made of and set goals and try to accomplish high level goals.
The sport really shows how much you can accomplish when you set goals and have determination for something. it disciplines you to never give up and to keep pushing even when it gets hard

I think wrestling is one of the best sports to participate in as a teen because as coach bullock said, ” it’s a great way to test your limits and see what your made of and set goals and try to accomplish high level goals.” The sport really shows what you can accomplish if you put in the work and set goals for yourself, the sport has also shown me personally that no matter how hard it gets you should never give up

I think that this is great for these students. Wrestling is a great way of working out and getting fit, while able to get to know people training and fighting with you. I am happy for the students that made it to tournaments and hope it went well for them.

I believe wrestling is a great way to stay physically and mentally fit. Wrestling requires immense physical strength and is technically intensive, and the training regime is not for the weak-minded. Negative emotions can be turned into positive results by channeling harmful emotions into physical work.

So proud of our team this year! Rocking it this year with both the girls’ and boys’ teams! Keep up the good work.
