(Regets) has helped create a better person in me, I know that for a fact, and in other people, I've seen it, too. So, he's been about not only getting the wins but also making us better people.I'm in a little group chat with some of the guys, and I'll text them and ask if anybody needs rides or who's going. It just shows how much these coaches mean to us, so we're willing to go to these meetings and push for them.Its been an eventful offseason since Foltzs PIAA podium finish and Regets' District 3 Coach of the Year award, but the team has stuck together through it all. Foltz said Regets has been volunteering his time to help Palmyras wrestlers this summer in several ways.Just this weekend, we had a dual team tournament and ended up getting first in our division. (Coach Regets) got a team together of mostly Palmyra guys, and a couple guys from local schools, Foltz said. It's nice just being able to wrestle with my team and get together.It's fun because often times I'm doing this offseason stuff alone. It's nice that he's pulling in the other guys, and I'm getting to compete with my teammates over the offseason, too, because I miss them and competing, so it is fun doing that.The next Palmyra District board meeting is set for Aug. 20.Foltz said the Cougars wrestling success is important to him and his teammates, and that being together off the mats is another way to grow.Staying close and being able to just be with each other through this and encouraging each other (helps)." Foltz said. "I provided a ride for someone here, and just being with each other through this and (knowing) no matter how this ends up, we're a team and we're gonna deal with this however it ends up.We're a team, and we'll just keep working together.Zavier Gussett covers high school sports and local sports in Lebanon County.
