Parkview Wrestlers Ready to Rumble
After losing its long-time coach a few years ago, Parkview High is rebuilding its wrestling team. Its coach, players and parents believe they are definitely back on their way to state wins.
In 2009, when Coach Tom Beuglas stepped down to begin the wrestling program over at Archer High School, the Panthers took a hit.

Coach Joshua Porter, who is now in his second season with the Panthers, wants to change that -- bring the team back to its former glory. His goal this year is to be in the top 5 of the state.
