Starting the 2010-11 Season Editorial by Rans Sunday December 12, 2010 1pm 2010-11 Wrestling season has started with a bang. Easton travelled to Parkland and dropped a 41-21 win on them to open the season. The preseason consensus was that Easton was the team to beat this year, and they gave us no reason to doubt that in their opening match agaisnt the team many thought was to be their biggest challenger this year. Easton answered with 4 pins, 2 majors and 2 decisions against 2 falls and 4 decisions for Parkland. Concerns over Easton's football returnees was justified as they are not yet in wrestling shape, but that only makes us wonder how much stronger they can get by February. Nazareth also returns a strong contingent this year and Northampton is in a reloading year and can never be counted out. This reporter wishes to thank the many readers of this website and the forum for their good wishes over the past year. I am back, I am healthy again, and I am ready for some wrestling, how about you? I ask you to be patient as I attempt to recover any missing data from last season.

A thought for fans... “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt A Proud Member of Tom Ellings State Wide District Wrestling Network (click on logo to visit)   Pennsylvania Wrestling Rankings PIAA State AAA & AA Pennsylvania Wrestling Join in & talk wrestling in The District XI Forum District 2 Website District 2 Forum District 1 Forum PAC10 Website Pennsylvania Wrestling Radio   Tournament Results over the years for Junior High and Junior Varsity Junior High - Junior Varsity Results If you have brackets for me to post, please send them to email address at bottom upsdated March 13, 2011 New Career 100+ Match Winners:
