We had a relatively poor dual record this past season with only 3 wins, 10 losses, and one tie, but we kept on a fightin' and ended the season on a very powerful note. Two of our sophomores ended up placing in state with one's taking a fourth and the other's being the champion in his weight class. He happened to be only the second wrestler in Valier's history to make this high a mark on the Fighting Panthers annals. If this is a key to our future, we should make a much brighter showing next year and in the years to come, as only one senior graduated from this very young team.
