This season two more sets of brothers will be added to the roster as Cody and Andrew will join their brothers Corey and James. Cody and Corey Bleaken are from Clifton High school in Clifton, New Jersey. Cody will compete at the 133 or141 weight class and Corey will compete at the 149 or157 weight class. Cody was high school athlete of the year last year at Clifton High. Corey was 3rd in the NAIA national tournament in 2007 as a true freshman at 149 and had a school record 40 wins that season and was a national qualifier in 2008.
Andrew and James Casadaban are from Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Andrew will compete at 133 or 141 weight class and James will compete at 157 weight class. Andrew was a 2008 state champion for Brother Martin last year. James was a redshirt freshman last year and was a NAIA national qualifier.
Head coach Jarad Swint said "It is pretty unique to have three sets of brothers. It is great to see the family support that these young men get. They are all very different but one thing is for sure they all get good family support. We see each of their families during the season every year. The Myers family started things off this year by being at the first conditioning run. Adam and Trey's younger brother Jesse and Mr. Myers ran with us and Mrs. Myers was also present supporting the guys. Mr. Bleaken has been out to the national tournament every year and you can see how much he enjoys the sport. The Casadaban family is like an entire crew. Their parents, grandparents, girlfriends and other family members will show up at any number of tournaments. I know all of the families are excited about the season and we are looking forward to all of the family support. We had great family support at the national tournament in 2008 and we look forward to having that kind of support again and hopefully even better from the entire team. Our success is very dependent on the family support these young men receive each year. I know one thing for sure most of our guys wrestle better when their family is around. Even a phone call to see how they did helps them!"
