With the state wrestling championships on tap this weekend in Upper Marlboro, Tuscarora High wrestling coach Trey Coates, one of the biggest advocates for the sport in Frederick County, is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.
Coates chats with host Greg Swatek about the tremendous season the Titans have had, advancing all the way to the Class 3A West regional duals final, during which they gave eventual state champion Linganore a tussle, and then sending a large contingent of wrestlers to the individual state championships this weekend.
Coates also discusses in detail how he was able to get a flourishing girls wrestling program going at Tuscarora. The Titans had roughly 18 girls come out for the wrestling team this season, which was easily the most of any school in Frederick County, and will send seven wrestlers to the state girls wrestling tournament this weekend at The Show Place Arena.
How was he able to get so many girls interested in wrestling? Was he surprised by the turnout? What were the challenges associated with coaching girls as a male wrestling coach? What does he feel is the future of girls wrestling in Frederick County now that there are county titles awarded to girls?
Prior to that discussion, FNP sports writers John Cannon and Alexander Dacy join Greg to discuss the basketball playoffs in Frederick County, as well as Oakdale's run to the Maryland state final in ice hockey.
