Pennsylvania Seniors Making Their Mark on History
Willie Saylor, Editor
The PIAA State Wrestling Championships will be staged this weekend in Hershey. Always a triumphant affair, this year will be increasingly special, as it will serve as a swansong for perhaps the greatest senior class, from any one particular state, in the history of high school wrestling.
Pennsylvania has long been known as a hotbed of wrestling; since about, well, forever.

Hope he grows a little
But Roberts’ goals don’t end with just another state championship. He wants to further his career by wrestling at Penn State and one day get the opportunity to represent his country on the Olympic stage.

ATLANTIC CITY – Hank Stinson electrified the crowd of 8,500 at Boardwalk Hall watching the NJSIAA state individual wrestling championships Sunday.
Trailing by 5-3 with five seconds remaining in the 140-pound bout, the Eastern High wrestler scored a takedown to tie the match, 5-5, and registered back points for a 7-5 victory.
The fans roared as Stinson ran in a circle, waving his arms in victory, while Willingboro’s James Green, who had led throughout most of the bout, sat defeated in stunned disbelief.
