Brookwood Panthers Wrestling

06/10/2026

Just a shoutout to some of our wrestlers for starting off June with a strong work ethic. Many of them are putting in extra time with wrestling and football practices in the mornings, then heading to club practices in the evenings to continue improving.

On Monday, we had several wrestlers attend an outstanding mini camp hosted by Montevallo. Then on Tuesday, a dedicated group showed up for an additional practice to get more work in.

Keep grinding and making the most of every opportunity to improve!
