‘This will set wrestling back in our state’: Wrestling coaches react to lost season
If there was one thing Ricky Shook never thought he would be in January, it is bored.
But that is exactly how the 22-year head coach of Danbury wrestling would describe himself these days.
Shook’s winter weekends are normally packed with wrestling tournaments, but with wrestling in Connecticut shut down, Shook has had nothing to do on the weekends except watch football and wait for the sport that is such a big part of his life to return.
Next week, Danbury’s wrestling program will reconvene for the first time since the New England Championships last March.
