Returnees, new additions fill out varsity rosters

The makeup of the boys and girls wrestling teams looks different since several grapplers graduated.

As a result, Plano East will rely on a handful of returnees, mostly underclassmen, and some new additions.

On the boys side, the Panthers welcome back regional qualifiers Kevin Nguyen, Keshon Hollis, Colby Testolin and Dominic Denson, and Harrison Hecker.

Expected to contribute, according to head coach Bryan Kenney, are Evan Guy, Bneji Lamp, Plano West transfer Moises Pacheco and Kyle Rowdy.
