Tuesday January 20, Saegertown wrestlers took on their long time rivals the Fort LeBoeuf Bison. Jarrett Ruhl started the match off with a decisive victory in the 120-pound weight class, pinning his opponent in 2:54. Saegertown went on to throttle Fort LeBoeuf 36 -19, for their first victory in the rivalry since 2006.

Prior to the match against the Bison, Saegertown head coach Jim Mulligan ordered 500 assorted chicken wings that the team members enjoyed as part of a huge celebration that took place after the victory. Senior Garrett Zuver said, “This [beating Fort LeBoeuf] was our goal since we were little.” Focus has now shifted to the upcoming postseason for the team. On January 31, the team will travel to Sharon for the District Duals, and the top three teams will advance to the state finals. “If we wrestle up to our ability, we should be celebrating down in Hershey in a couple of weeks,” said senior Lance Neuscheler.
