After eight seasons as Ellsworth Community College Head Wrestling Coach, Cole Spree announced his resignation to start a wrestling program at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa. Taking on the role of interim head coach is Adam Fahs, who has been the Panthers' assistant coach for three seasons.  

Spree says he is fully confident in Fahs stepping up as head coach. "Adam is well prepared. He really knows these kids and has been a big part in recruiting many of them."

Fahs will miss Spree's tutelage, but plans on leading by example. "We teach that consistency wins championships to our guys. It's important to keep consistent, so that is my focus heading into the season."
