Like its coach’s demeanor, the Collins-Maxwell-Baxter wrestling team went through the 2011-12 season somewhat quietly.

Now, after losing only a few seniors and returning the bulk of a lineup from a nine-win team, Raiders coach Dennis Hennick is making a little more noise about this year’s team and its potential than he normally would.

“I’m being optimistic and thinking we’ll have a better team even though we’re younger,” Hennick said. “A handful of kids wrestled a lot over the summer, so I’m looking forward to it. So far it’s just been conditioning, conditioning, conditioning.”
