Despite no sectional place finishers returning and many new faces in the lineup, Sweet Home wrestling coach Don Lilly thinks the team can still have a winning season in ECIC Division II.

Last year the Panthers went 1-7 in ECIC II and 7-16 overall.

"I believe a lot of the league lost some key wrestlers, and we have some strong underclassmen who will help," Lilly said. "The future is bright, but it may take a little time to develop the talent we have now."
