The year of the Panther!

The Panthers have once again gotten off to a strong start this 2010-11 wrestling season by winning not only the entire War on the Wabash Tournament, but also finishing a respectible 2nd at the HHC Conference Duals Tournament.  In doing so, they have amassed a 19-1 record and were even able to take down two teams ranked in the top 20 of the state.  Let's hope the competition is starting to paying attention!  The Panther's only loss this season so far has been to a tough Columbus East team by tiebreak.  And that was after leading half way through the match 30-9!  The Panther Varsity is lead this year by a gritty and seasoned group of seniors including Joey Resch (125), Alex Alcorn (140), Justin Balwin (160), Tyler Morrison (189), and Mark Collett (285).  The varsity line-up is rounded out by 5 underclassman that were at least regional qualifiers last year including Gary Engleking (112), Marshall Holwager (119), Jordan Gast (130), Brock Wathen (171), and Iyan Bass (215-I.R.).  Three panthers have been included in indianamat.com's individual wrestler rankings.

This years squad is obviously going to be tough to beat and is only made stronger by our 2nd Varsity that is constantly nipping at their heels.  The 2nd Varsity, including seniors Taylor Alcorn, Jerrod Holwager, Jacob Krueger, Broady Bowers, and Chris Galliher has already swept the Robert Fugate Memorial Classic in Scottsburg going a perfect 8-0.
