The wrestling team has found a new source of inspiration and strength through the newly acquired Coach Christopher Kober ’17. Coach Kober is a former college coach and wrestler who has brought a unique and impactful coaching style to the team.
“I feel like he really holds us to high standards,” Fifth Former Matt Hoban said. “He treats us like family, and he really cares a lot about each and every one of us. He wants us to do the best that we can.”
This sense of connection has been crucial for the team this season, and with Coach Kober’s ability to relate to the wrestlers, having been in their shoes once before, one can know that the wrestling team is going to be a strong contender for titles in future years.
“[Coach Kober] knows we work the hardest out of any team that we compete against, so we should be ready for the challenge of states and national preps.”

The team as a whole is young, with many Third and Fourth Formers, promising a strong future. Throughout the season, all of the boys have shown significant growth and are determined to become better wrestlers. Although the team placed third at the PAISAA Duals, a step down from last year’s performance, the wrestlers are on an upward trajectory. As the team enters the final stretch of the season before states and national preps, the boys remain focused on one key goal, winning and making the podium.
Hoban said, “Like Kober said, he knows we work the hardest out of any team that we compete against, so we should be ready for the challenge of states and national preps.”
