Wrestling Season Part 2: The Team Road to Hershey

With the Colonial League Championship now in their rearview mirror, the Saucon Valley Wrestling team now shifts their focus to the Team AA District XI Tournament.

Tonight at 7:30 p.m., #1 Saucon Valley will wrestle at Whitehall High SchoolĀ against the winner of #8 Palisades and #9 Panther Valley (6 p.m.).

The Panthers will then compete Saturday at Freedom High School, looking for a top-2 finish to advance.

The District XI Champion, which will be determined Saturday evening, will travel directly to Hershey and compete in the PIAA team tournament on Thursday, Feb. 5. The District XI runner-up will have to qualify on Monday with a location and opponent yet to be determined before moving on to Hershey.

Good Luck Saucon!
