Team Record 1-1. The team competed in the Wetzel Classic at Hatboro-Horsham over the break. Cullen Malone earned a 5th place medal against some top level competition. Some standout wrestlers this year for the team are:

Cullen Malone - Has a lot of potential and should be fun to see what he does this year. A successful junior year could put him in place to earn 100 career wins by the time his career ends.

Nick Bratspis - Has a high motor and a good work ethic. He worked hard in the off-season and everyday to get better. Should have a very strong future in wrestling.

Brett Suddell- The teams captain started the season strong but suffered an injury. Hopefully he'll be back before the end of his senior season.

Tim Baciu - A lot of raw talent that he will hopefully work into strong wrestling abilities.

Matt Stefurak - Strong kid with raw talent that is capable of beating most wrestlers.
