Athens 40 Wyalusing 25 Congrats team on a HUGE win!

Athens Wrestling finishes the day with a 3rd place finish at the Line Mtn Duals posting wins against Hughesville, Lewisburg, and the home team Line Mountain. Great job team!

Nothing beats the emotion of Saturday morning at the PIAA AA NE Regional tournament. Its the "blood" round. Winning guarantees a place at the state tournament. Losing ends the season, and perhaps, a career. Returning state qualifiers are left in the rubble. Last year's accomplishments mean nothing. All that matters is how you perform in that six minutes. Congratulations to AJ Burkhart, Nate Bradley, Chris Horton and David Galasso on rising to the occasion and earning an opportunity to wrestle in the PIAA AA State tournament in Hershey! Special congratulations to AJ who was the NE Regional champ!

Congrats to AJ Burkhart on earning the PIAA District 4 title at 126 pounds this week-end!

Athens JH takes the team title at Port Allegany today. It is a huge accomplishment for these kids and this proves Athens wrestling has a bright future!

The key is to enjoy it...work hard but enjoy it...

When Exeter Township Senior High School wrestler Austin DeSanto lost to Franklin Regional High School's Spencer Lee at last year's PIAA state final, all he want...ed to do this year was show improvement. He was extremely focused, no cell phone, social media or drivers license. All Austin did this year was practice. From the time he got up in the morning, till it was time to sleep. Fast forward 324 days to the 2017 PIAA State wresting championship. Austin dropped down to the 126lbs weight class to wrestle Lee one final time. To see if all his hard work would pay off. To show improvement over the 15-0 match last year. Some say an injury to Spencer Lee's leg made the match close. Regardless, the Lee vs DeSanto rematch was viewed all over the internet and on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) network by millions. The crowd at the Giant Center stood for every second. Austin did improve but by how much? Here is his story. FOX 29 Drexel University Drexel University Wrestling See more
