PREVIEW: Returning state qualifiers to lead Wildcats

     Two of Maquoketa Valley’s four individual state qualifiers lead the Wildcat wrestling team as it heads into the 2017-18 season.

     Ninth-year head coach Tim Andrews said that will be one of the team’s strengths this season, as it works to try to replicate last year’s 30-4 campaign.

     “We should have some depth in the lineup, as well as five seniors to lead the way,” Andrews said. “Returning a couple of state qualifiers will also help in terms of showing the younger guys that this is where we want to be.”
