Change of Location: As is known by now, the Panther – Greyhound Wrestling Dual was originally set as a home dual for the Panthers. The dual was moved to San Benito when it was learned that a WHS J.V. Basketball Tournament was scheduled for the same date. Fliers were sent home with each wrestler stating the location change. For those of you who did not receive the notice, or who are alumni or fans of Panther Wrestling and had no way of knowing about the change, etc. and thus either arrived late at San Benito High School or were unable to make arrangements to attend, please feel free to call to verify dates and times.
