A

We're at Annapolis High School for another edition of athletes in action. It's our 10th anniversary and along with Eric Cloyd I'm Wiley Baker we're with the Annapolis Panthers wrestling team. Let's go grapple on the mats with those cats and head coach, Tom, zavacianutis and assistant coach Tyler skorinzi.

A

These Panther wrestlers have been growling for a great season on the mat and they've had just that. This.

B

Team's grown up since 2020 we've all my Kevin, who is also a senior he was also my 106 pounder I was the 113 pounder. So we were right next to Charlotte all the way and now we're both captains this year and I think we're just we're both pushing each other hard every day in practice, and then that just shows shoots.

C

Off to everyone else, we've just been working hard. All season like we show up consistently. We work hard. We really improve every day like week to week the guys just keep making improvements and I think that's like a big part of our success and all credits are the coaches too they've taught us so much this season. They've pushed us really hard.

D

All the different coaches bring a different aspect. You know contribute to the team, so we just show up every day we put in the work and weekend practices and I think it's you know put in the work and you get the results during.

E

My freshman year we had a very strong team. That is when we play second in the states and me and the other senior Captain Nick Antonelli. We both came from that team, so we had a very strong sense of teamwork. This team.

A

Of maroon, black and blue have become connected. Just Like, Glue.

E

It's a very interesting relationship because we probably spend and close to 15 hours a week in this gym and it's it's the Blood, Sweat and Tears of the sport that leads us to all grow closer. We.

C

Just all have fun together, like just a great group of guys that are working hard together and we just have fun I. Think that's what brings us so close together and.

B

Look at everyone like a brother here, it's like we're all we I grew up together. It's like my family. They see us doing one extra Sprint after practice, they'll Sprint with us. They see us running extra stairs, they'll, come run. Extra stairs with us. I think it's all about senior leadership that keeps his team going and.

D

You know the seniors lead by example. You know- and we don't have time to get in here and mess around. So you know right right around four o'clock. It's we put the.

A

Shoes on and we get to work, great knowledge and good smarts help the Annapolis wrestlers keep healthy Hearts. We.

C

Like getting a good sweat going right before practice, get the muscles warm same thing with our means, like a good, intense warm-ups, just really gets us going for a meet or a practice when.

B

I cut weight, I just I eat everything, normally my same same meals, I just smaller the portions a little bit a little less protein, a little more carbs and fruits and natural.

C

Carbs cut back on the calories, but like make sure you eat your protein I think that's the big key like eat, lean, proteins and proteins will keep our muscles strong throughout the season.

D

We've all wrestled since we were pretty young, and so we all have a lot of different experiences with. You know how to keep the nutrition in the Forefront of our brains and how to diet properly and get down to wheat. You know effectively.

E

I eat a ton of fruit. That's what I find fills me up. The most, which is I, would say pretty interesting and I just consume a lot of lean meat as well pinning.

A

Down good grades is top of mind to this squad.

D

Grades is one of the most important things you know if you're not producing in a classroom. You know you're not going to produce out here so got to make sure that uh you know grades are staying.

B

Up being student athletes hard because you can't put all your time in the Athletics so then the academics won't take you there and college. You got to be a good student athlete so I think after practice, I go home, get another hour homework in or before school.

C

We have this thing called Panther hour school, so it's about an hour. We can go to any classroom, we want and do our work like get help from teachers and I think that's how I've been able to keep up with it, because that's just a great time to get all my homework done.

E

The way I make up for lost time is just doing it later at night, doing it during school hours Panther hour. Just it's a balance between free time and school work as.

A

Annapolis Panthers wrestling builds success. More and more fans in the state capital have a louder Roar.

B

It was awesome like our senior night, we had the biggest crowd show up in our my whole time. Here we had people were waving flags in the air. It was like a whole football game felt like I, mean team that the atmosphere of the gym when it's all packed in it's just like you go out there like you, can't lose like it's like it puts in this new. This new fire in my mind, like all right, let's go, let's get some I.

C

Haven't really the whole crowd for you and all your teammates, it's a great feeling.

E

It's it's really fun. It makes it electric like everyone's cheering you on. So it's a great feeling. It's.

D

Nothing better than uh you know. When somebody's going for a pin and the crowd starts, you know cheering it's everybody kind of row, everybody up and keep the momentum going, so we really enjoy it.

A

In honor and memory of my mom D Baker I'm Wiley Baker I'll talk to you on the court on the field on the air or maybe even on the mats, with another edition of Anne Arundel County Public Schools athletes in action.
