Panthers Strengthen Schedule for 2018-2019 Season

HOLLAND, MI – West Ottawa wrestling coach Ryan Lancaster has unveiled the team's schedule for the 2018-2019 season, highlighted by six home events. The Panthers will look to build off a successful 2018 campaign that saw the squad rack up 269 individual wins, and following up an 19-19 dual record.

WO will open the season on Dec. 5 in Hesperia, MI with a dual against the Panthers. On Dec. 8, they will match up against a number of local teams in a round robin format at the Gene Kraai Memorial in Zeeland, MI. The team will open up its home slate on Jan. 2 in WOHS Main Gym against Hudsonville and Caledonia in an OK Red Tri-meet before heading back out on the road for a handful of events at Gobles (Jan. 5) and Rockford (Jan. 16).  The historic WO-Grand Haven rivalry continues on Jan. 23 in Holland, as the Panthers will look to finish off the Buccaneers for the first time in several seasons at home. The Panthers will look to place many at the only individual tournament of the regular season in Holt (Jan. 19), but not before hosting their ever tough WO Invitational (Jan. 12). They finish up the regular season on the road at Montague (Jan. 26).
​
The MHSAA Individual State Finals are scheduled for March 1-2 at the Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
