A special Saucon Source “Shout-Out” to Saucon senior Jack Hill for a nice 4-3 win against Derek Wilson of Southwestern. Wilson was the PIAA 3A fifth place finisher at States last season.
The Panthers are chasing a fourth consecutive Colonial League Championship. According to the Saucon Valley Athletic Department, the Panthers have won 41 Colonial League matches in a row. Saucon’s last Colonial League defeat was in 2011 courtesy of the Pen Argyl Green Knights.
Come on out and support the Saucon wrestlers as they look to repeat for a 4-peat. The Panthers (1-0) will defend their home turf against league rival Palisades (3-1) Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Saucon will then quickly regroup and travel to Wilson for a Thursday night showdown with the Warriors.
Good Luck Panthers! The Source is with you.
