2019-2020 Varsity Schedule Revealed

​HOLLAND, MI – West Ottawa wrestling coach Ryan Lancaster has unveiled the team's schedule for the 2019-2020 season, highlighted by five home events. The Panthers will look to build off the 2019 campaign that saw the squad rack up 222 individual wins, and following up an 9-26 dual record. Plagued by low numbers last season, the Panthers are relying on a large incoming freshman class to combat forfeits.

WO will open the season on Dec. 11 in Hesperia, MI with a dual against the Panthers. On Dec.14, they will match up against a number of local teams in a round robin format at the Gene Kraai Memorial in Zeeland, MI. The next weekend they travel across town to the always competitive Tim Horn Invite at Holland (Dec. 21). The last event in 2019 will be the Holiday Quad at Forest Hills Central on Dec. 28. The team will open up its home slate on Jan. 15 in the Aux Gym against #9 Grandville, capping off the weekend of Jan. 18 with the ever tough Panther Duals. The Panthers will look to finish off the #7 Rockford Rams for the first time in several seasons at home (Jan. 29). They finish up the regular tournament season on the road a #4 Chippewa Hills (Feb. 01). The historic WO-Grand Haven rivalry closes out the OK Red season on Feb. 05 in Grand Haven, with the conference meet on that same Friday (Feb. 07) in Rockford.

The MHSAA Individual State Finals are scheduled for March 6-7 at the Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
