This Veterans Day tribute is to honor six soldiers from the 2014 wrestling team that went into the service after graduating. Many students from PVHS have joined the military in the past few years and I am sorry we can’t recognize them all. This was coordinated with Trojans wrestling coach Craig Rieger and Peter Davis, who took the photos. If we missed somebody from the team that year we are sorry.

These 2014 wrestlers went into the service: Jax Clayton, Jace Clayton, Abe Preciado, Sam Tucsnak, Zeke Mendoza, John Clark.
