Week Nine: Preview

As we enter the last week of the season, we will finish with two intense days of varsity wrestling. Currently, the team has a 4-2 record in the L.E.L. and 11-7 overall. This week determines if we finish above .500 a year after a 3-20 finish.
On Thursday, we have the last home match of the year. Lorain and Bedford visit in the last match of the L.E.L. season. Dylan Norwood is still undefeated in the 171 pound weight class. Zak Adkins and Rynell Roper each have one loss. They all will be wrestling for all-L.E.L. honors. We will take on Lorain at 5:30 pm in the East Gym. Lorain and Bedford will then wrestle. Then after Senior Night recognition, the Panthers will take on the Bearcats in a rematch of the 3rd place match at the Geneva T.K. Duals.
On Friday, we will take the short bus ride to VASJ for a quad with Shaw, Cleveland Heights, and the host Vikings. We narrowly defeated Shaw, by two points, in January, and Cleveland Heights 66-16 in our first home match. We have not defeated VASJ for three years. They won the last two years. The matches start at 6:00 pm in the Purple Palace.
On Saturday, the J.V. wrestlers will be in action at the L.E.L. J.V. tournament at Shaker Heights beginning at 9:00 am.
