The Panther wrestling team honored its senior members on Thursday night in Prophetstown.
EP was able to secure a win over Polo 45-36, winning six of the eight contested matches with the Marcos.
The Rams got the better of the Panthers scoring a 46-27 win.
Coach Tod McCullough the season has been difficult in a number of ways. “It’s been a tough year with kids struggling to focus with so many things happening at the same time.” The coach has several athletes that are also running track and playing baseball. Erie High School will hold its graduation this Sunday with several weeks of the wrestling season left on the calendar, which is yet another element of the unprecedented athletic year for high school athletes.
