The Saucon Valley Junior High wrestlers loaded up a couple of vans and hit the road bright and early on Saturday morning to participate in the Line Mountain Junior High Invitational Wrestling Tournament. Not satisfied with the level of competition at other junior-high tournaments in the past, the Panthers travelled the two hours to take on the best they could find. Saucon was one of about thirty-two teams registered to compete in this individual tournament.

- Bishop McDevitt
- Bloomsburg
- Blue Mountain
- Camp Hill
- Danville
- Juniata
- Pottsville
- Southern Columbia
- Tri Valley
- and many more!
