NEWFANE - Since the New York State Public High School Athletic Association implemented a dual wrestling tournament in 2018, the Newfane Panthers have scratched and clawed to qualify. Now that they will finally be in the mix, they aren't simply thrilled to be there.
Sure, Newfane received a tough draw in the point system that resulted in the No. 8 seed and a first-round pod with top-seeded Tioga and at-large Port Jervis, but there is no fear regardless of the opponent. The Panthers have beaten five league champions this season, including fellow state qualifiers Starpoint and Falconer.
