Wrestlers beat Harper Creek, Coldwater en route to district title

After a disappointing finish in the conference (3rd overall), the wrestling team bounced back with a district title in a dominant performance.  
The Panthers began the night in the semi-finals by thrashing a young Harper Creek team, 66-15. Western kept the momentum going in the finals by winning some important matches early and pounded Coldwater 57-19.  
Down 17-15 going into the 171-pound match, Trent Hullett avenged a loss from last year's district tournament by pinning his opponent.  Scott Cooley wrestled his first match at 189 pounds and pinned his opponent as well to put Western up 29-15.  Pins by Brady Hoffman and Austin Catt sealed the deal for Western.  Double winners for Western were Brock Hoffman, Tade Price, Chase Veydt, Tyler Ebersole, Trent Hullett, Scott Cooley, Brady Hoffman, and Austin Catt.
