Junction City Blue Jay wrestling coach Bob Laster says his team has a lot of work to do, but he came away happy from the team’s Blue – White scrimmage  at the Shenk Gym.

“One of the biggest things I notice is conditioning wise. I don’t think we’re in the type of condition that we need to be win. Otherwise I thought we looked pretty good technically.”

Junction City must prepare for their season opening double dual on Thursday at the Shenk Gym against Chapman and Clay Center.  He feels the Blue – White scrimmage is beneficial. “Yeah it is because it gives me an opportunity as well as the kids an opportunity to be in a real life like situation. ‘  Laster added having it under the lights and with an official provides a different experience than the wrestling practice room.

The Blue Jays do have one significant injury early in the season. Returning two-time state champion, Andrew Millsap broke a leg one week before the beginning of the season. He is expected to be able to resume competition sometime in January.
