On Thursday, I ventured to the southernmost school in my coverage area for the Bedford Gazette, at HOPE for Hyndman Charter School.
The Hornets are coached this season by a new face, but a familiar one in District 5. Chadd Sines, who had some solid success at Meyersdale, is now in charge. Overall, Hyndman will be young this year, but at first glance in the room, numbers appear decent for Sines to begin his coaching reign in Bedford County.
Sines is joined on the coaching staff by Logan Sheldon, who also served as Jake Snyder's top assistant over the past few years. Sheldon, a former state finalist for the Hornets, is well-liked by many of the wrestlers and keeping him around should preserve continuity.
One note of interest I did see was another female wrestler among my locals. Rebecca Mosher is a freshman on Hyndman's roster. She joins Everett junior Selena Munoz in that regard. Somerset's Kat Luteri is another around the district.
I'm glad to see more girls in Pennsylvania giving wrestling a shot. It's a sport that's demanding and not for the faint of heart, yet these three and others are battling their male counterparts without blinking an eye. Kudos!
