Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Div. II Wrestling Preview@wnywrestling @PCS_Panthers @gorandolph1 @FCSBears @TheBearDen4 @SCCSDWarriors https://t.co/2Vg4DU9YgX pic.twitter.com/fMP2d64wUg
This league, maybe more so than any other, has experienced the pain of declining numbers and school enrollments that plague Upstate New York as a whole. However still, the people of the Southern Tier in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties continue to uphold the wrestling traditions in their communities in spite of the adversity, keeping the fire of the sport alive.
Before the season begins Portville already stands out from the rest as the banner keeper for the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association (CCAA) Division II league. The Panthers have to be the favorite to repeat after a strong 2018-2019 squad earned the highest seed (#4) of any CCAA Div. II team in the three years of the Section VI Duals.
Portville Panthers
Cattaraugus-Little Valley Timberwolves
