The Knoxville Wrestling Squad finished the 2017 portion of its season with an 8-3 dual record. The Panthers have several wrestlers that are doing well and have been with the program for most of their high school career. A few grapplers are in their first year with the program, or even first year wrestling. Nyan Baker is one of the guys that is wrestling for the first time, as is 106 pound wrestler Sangale Sangale. Coach Doug Hatch is happy with how the first year guys are progressing and hopes they can get more mat time as the season continues in 2018. The Panthers return to competition on January fourth with a quad meet at Eddyville-Blakesburg.
