Panther Duals December 19th, 2009 PHSN
2009 marked the 7th anniversary of the Panther Duals tournament. In the previous 6 years, PHSN was only able to manage a 3rd place finish as their best showing. That all changed Saturday, when the Panthers lived up to their #1 ranking in Central Ohio and soundly defeated the five teams they faced to claim the tournament Championship. Starting out as the overall #1 seed, the Panthers began pool wrestling by facing fellow OCC Ohio Division team, Grove City, and defeated them by the score of 51-15. They then dominated Dublin Scioto 65-8 to win their pool and move into the championship bracket of the top 8 teams. In the first round of the bracket, they faced Valley View HS (near Dayton), and beat them 69-6 winning every match they wrestled. That win set up a showdown with one of the most talented teams in Central Ohio, West Jefferson HS. Coming out strong in the middle and upper weights, the Panthers again dominated and won by the score of 47-21. That win propelled them into the Championship match against another top team in Central Ohio, Teays Valley. Last year the Panthers ; lost to TVHS 35-34 in their pool round, but this year the match was never in doubt as the Panthers again dominated 47-15, winning their first ever Panther Duals Title. Several Panther wrestlers went undefeated on the day. They are listed below in weight class order.

Central District All Star Meet November 24th, 2009 Olentangy HS
Six PHSN wrestlers who competed on the 2008-2009 varsity wrestling team were chosen to represent Pickerington North in the 2009-2010 Central District All Star Meet, held Tuesday night at Olentangy HS. This is traditionally and great night of preview wrestling with a unique format in which the top wrestlers from Central District Division 1 schools are paired against the top wrestlers from Central District Division 2 and 3 schools. This allows the participants to compete against top wrestlers they will not see during the competition year. All bouts are exhibitions, and do not count towards any wrestlers' record, and are of a 1-1-1 format. The six Panthers wrestled well and came away with an overall 5-1 record on the night.
