Drew Sistito takes over at Independence and although he doesn’t have a deep squad yet … there is certainly some firepower in the lineup with the return of State Placer Spencer Kon and Riddeck Romano. Both made the podium a year ago and both will be hunting the top step in 2024. Locke Sessions and Noah Criado both qualified for the Section 4 tournament in 2023 and both will be looking to punch their ticket to the big dance this season. Keep an eye on incoming freshmen Murk Romano (126) and Leo Roberts (144) as well as sophomore Rocky Davis (150) … they will be counted on to step in and make some noise if Independence is going to be competitive as a team in 2024. - SEWrestle
