There are times when it can be a challenge to please NRHEG wrestling coach Paul Cyr.
The Panthers made sure Saturday was not one of those days.
The NRHEG boys did some of their best wrestling of the season at the Stewartville Invitational, where they finished third among 10 schools.
“This was by far and away our best outing of the season, not only in the number of team points and place, but in overall intensity and effort against good competition. It was great to see our guys wrestle at this level.”
