The Falls City Middle School girls’ wrestling team has hit the mats and is ready for action. The team is excited as 11 new faces have joined the squad this season, making the 2026 group its largest to date. In total, the team is comprised of 21 girls in 7th and 8th grade. The Tiger coaching staff and returning athletes have worked non-stop recruiting, encouraging, and convincing classmates to show up and give wrestling a try. The extra work has paid dividends. Coach Quentin Coatney said this group of wrestlers has a tremendous opportunity in front of them as they compete for a third-straight ECNC Championship while building a strong foundation for the future of Falls City Girls Wrestling. Coatney encourages the public to support the team at its two meets this season. The first is Friday, November 20, at 2:30 p.m., and the second is Tuesday, December 1, at 4:00 p.m. “These girls have put in a ton of work and would love a packed gym,” Coatney said.
