Falcons Have Sights Set On Another Strong State Run

2015-16 In Review
State qualifiers: Dillon Stewart, Alex Martinez, Darren Stewart, Josh McFarland, Quin Smith, Noah Rutjens, Chris Peterson

2016-17 season preview: The Falcons enter 2016-17 as one of the most experienced wrestling squads in the area, returning four state qualifiers from the third-place Class D squad in the 2015-16 season.

Dillon Stewart, Darren Stewart, Alex Martinez and Josh McFarland all made the trip to Omaha last season and hope to lead the team to another top-three finish at the state meet.

To do so, they will need to fill in the gaps left by graduation, especially in the middle to heavy weight classes. All four returning qualifiers wrestled at 138 or lighter last season. 

Elkhorn Valley takes to the mat for the first time in 2016-17 when it travels to the Meridian Quadrangular on Thursday, December 1.
