PHS Wrestling program restarted For the first time in several years Prairie High School has their own wrestling program. In the past few years they had a couple of girls that co-oped with Grangeville. The last time Prairie had their own program was the 2017-18 season. There are 7 wrestlers turned out this season led by senior Jake Quintal. There are 3 sophomores: Ashton Martin, Devon Poxleitner and Steel Uhlenkott. There are also 3 freshmen: Zachary Schumacher, Joe Shaw, and the only female wrestler, Avery Schacher. Jeff North is the head coach this season with Shane Poxleitner as his assistant.
