Deep Creek wrestling shares its fall practice schedule

Deep Creek High's wrestling program has posted a weekly practice schedule for students interested in getting involved. The school lists Monday, Tuesday and Thursday sessions from 4 to 6:30 p.m., and a Wednesday session from 6 to 7:30 p.m., with study hall before the Wednesday practice.

The announcement directs questions to Coach Kumm at karl.kumm@cpschools.com. Families should contact the program to confirm participation requirements, current practice arrangements and any changes before attending. A practice announcement is not an invitation for the public to enter a student session.

Wrestling adds another way to follow local school athletics alongside football and other seasonal sports. The official Deep Creek High feed carries school announcements; use the team's current schedule when planning to attend a competition.
