Districts @ Massillon Perry
Jacob Perpar opened up with a victory, and his first district win in three attempts, on Friday night with his second defeat of Shawn Dell this year. This time was a hard fought 19-10 win. He then dropped a 13-2 decision to Massillon Perry's transfer and former Texas state-placer, Courtland Harrison. He then lost a consolation match to Kavin Henry from Maple Heights, by a tight 6-5 decision. Zak Adkins lost his opening match to Garland McCormick in :25 seconds and then ran out of time against the wrestler from Canfield and lost 6-5 in his district debut.
Sectionals @ Maple Heights
The team came home from sectionals with a 8th place finish and 2 district qualifiers. They also had two district alternates. Finishing in 2nd place for the second year was Jacob Perpar. Zak Adkins was the surprise qualifier for the squad. He put together a nice weekend for a 3rd place finish to qualify for districts as a sophomore. Dylan Norwood and Rynell Roper, a sophomore and freshman respectively, also wrestled well and just missed out on a trip to districts. They still traveled with the team as alternates, in case someone did not make weight or had another problem.
VASJ
The regular season ended on a sad note with a 55-18 loss to rival VASJ. After beating them for the first time in 6 years last year, the Vikings got their revenge in a big way. The only Panther victors were Jacob Perpar, Dennis Martin, and Brandon Eggleston. Noland Renfroe had Vikings state placer Tim Triskett on the ropes before losing a tough 11-10 decision.
