This year we are going to stream our Home Events, beginning with the JV duals this Saturday. This will allow anyone to cheer on the Cougars from anywhere. This is a free service, but the funding has been provided by the ZM Wrestling Booster Club. Donations are much appreciated, but not required (Details on donations will be forthcoming). We can’t promise that this will be seamless from Day 1, but we can promise that we will learn as we go and improve!

On Saturday, the Varsity travels to Glencoe Silver Lake High School to wrestle the Don Hall Invite with 8 other teams. #1-A Jackson County Central, #6-A Kimball, and #12-AA Watertown Mayer-Mayer Luth are the ranked teams that will be there. A great early season tournament and a good test!

The JV team will host a number of powerhouse programs visiting Mazeppa on Saturday for a JV duals tournament, including teams from Shakopee, Apple Valley, Holmen WI, Albert Lea and Dover-Eyota. Wrestling starts at 10am in the Mazeppa gym. We will be live streaming the ZM duals in Mazeppa with more information coming out soon.

There is a ZM wrestling store open through Rebyl for ZM singlets, sweatshirts, and wrestling shorts.

Note, that this is NOT the fan store. That will be coming out in the near future. This is primarily for the wrestlers preK-12th grade. 7-12 grade will be appointed a singlet, but having an extra one for wrestling multiple days in a row or for post season is nice to have. Click on the link below to see the ZM wrestler store.
