What they are saying: “Last year's very young team is maturing. We have eight returning starters with winning records and either regional or state experience. The team is back to a nice mix of experience with some of last year's talented JV stepping in to give us a full lineup for the first time in 3 years.”

Outlook: Heritage will be in the mix again this season with a young team developing into an experienced one. Look for the Panthers to return to a physical wrestling style as they get some grit back.
