Enterprise High launches wrestling program

Editor’s Notes; While this new program is well out of our usual coverage area (it is in Alabama) it is still encouraging to see more opportunities for student-athletes to wrestle. The coach makes several strong points in the article about how wrestling can help football players to improve in that sport and as an athlete in general.

Enterprise High School hired former Russell County High School wrestling coach Matt Pipkins on Tuesday, July 17, to signify the official launch of the new EHS wrestling program. Enterprise will jump straight into Class 7A competition this coming up school year with the addition of wrestling as a winter sport. Enterprise is just the third school in the Wiregrass to have a wrestling program, joining Northview and Charles Henderson. Enterprise will compete in wrestling from November through February and is expected to compete in Section 1 alongside Auburn, Central-Phenix City, Fairhope, Foley, Hoover, Jeff Davis, R.E. Lee, Oak Mountain, Prattville, Smiths Station, Spain Park and Thompson. “Anytime we can allow another opportunity for kids to get involved (an extracurricular activities) it’s exciting,” Enterprise Athletic Director Trent Trawick said. “That’s what we want to do. We want to help kids find something they’re interested in and help them be successful at that.
