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!
