UPDATED March 25
Greg Pascale will be wrestling in the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling state championships March 28 & 29 in Erie. Just qualifying for this tournament is a feather in his cap since only two wrestlers from Area X (Northeast and North Central PA) qualify in each weight class. This is a very prestigeous tournament and the winners of this tournament usually do very well later on in high school at the PIAA championships.
CONGRATULATIONS to former Summit Wrestler, Evan Craig, for his outstanding State tournament, at 285 pounds. Evan, a sophomore, placed 2nd. A great job by a great young man.

Valuable Life Lessons Learned
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. The sport of wrestling is a microcosm of society. It teaches you about work ethic, character, discipline, humility, and perseverance. In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength, but through perseverance. It’s through perseverance that our wrestlers have learned that at the heart of every defeat, is the seed of a future victory. While the defeats can be heartbreaking, it’s encouraging to watch the kids come off the wrestling mat with dignity and professionalism.
