Who won last season’s Wadsworth District
That district was held at Hoover last March. Perry rolled to the title with nine champions, four runners-up and a third place champion.
Are there any returning individual champions in the field this year?
This season is strange with Highland and Brecksville going to Perrysburg to face St. Edward and the Yellow Jackets. That said, every champion is a Panther as Liston Seibert (132 pounds), Mason Rohr (144), Brennan Warwick (175) and Caige Horak (175) all return for Perry.
