Pekin had a great showing at Sectionals held at BGM this Saturday. As a team they came within 30 points of their goal of second place finishing just behind the host school BGM with third. The Panthers held their best wrestling effort of the year under coaches Al Chapman, Tim Hadley, Willie Messerschmitt and Jared Greiner. Pekin had several place winners including six competitors that will wrestle this weekend, February 13th at Eddyville for Districts. If they place first or second there, it will be on to the State Tournament held at Wells Fargo Arena.
