Up next for the Cougars grapplers is a Thursday, Feb. 4 meet at Henley High School. Coach Jay Miller said that he anticipates a difficult challenge for his squad against the Hornets.
?I?m expecting to run into a hornet?s nest,? Miller said ?They?re very tough.?
On Saturday, Feb. 6, the Cougars will participate in a large tournament in Cottage Grove. Miller said that some 28 teams typically participate in that tourney, which Illinois Valley has won six times.
?Our goal is to finish in the top five there,? Miller stated.
