Twenty-four years after dropping the sport, St. Joseph High School announced during its Open House on Sunday that it will be reinstating its wrestling program beginning with the 2018-19 season.
Rutgers University head wrestling coach Scott Goodale was pleased to learn that another high school in New Jersey, which is renowned as a grappling hotbed, is adding the sport.
“Any time you can bring wrestling into the curriculum at the high school level, it’s a really big deal,” Goodale said. “I’m assuming they (the Falcons) are bringing it back because there’s interest. It’s a great sport — obviously I’m biased — for so many reasons including the discipline and character that are built. Everybody, at some point in their lives, should partake in wrestling.”
