IN THE NEWS! #MTHS & Township Wrestlers work together in the community. “It is important to instill in our wrestlers true hard work, dedication, & pride in Montville Township.” said Coach Brian Kapral. The coaches at all levels have noted: "As a program, the Broncos and Mustangs are treating this as a K-12 wrestling program instead of separating them. The youth and high school program will work more closely together in the future to help with the success of all wrestlers involved, no matter the wrestlers ages."
