I stand in the doorway of the Bellows Falls Union High School cafeteria during the week of February vacation. It's 10 a.m. Lunch tables are folded upright and pushed against the wall and wrestling mats are rolled out across the floor.
Eight wrestlers, ranging from 106 to 240 pounds, jog around the edges of the mat. Music plays loudly from a stereo in the corner of the room, but coach Todd Swisher's voice can be easily heard above it.
