Varsity Wrestling

2007-2008 Season Recap

The 2007/2008 Varsity Wrestling team started off the season by knocking off BEA (43-25) for the second year in a row.  A great way to start off the season.  The Raider's went on to have one of it's better seasons after that.  Finishing with a dual meet record of 17-6.  They were the District 6 Duals runnerup to a very strong Central Mountain team that went on to finish 2nd at the state duals in Hershey.  Our varsity team finished second at the King of the Mtn Duals, again losing to CM.  With a strong senior class our grapplers entered the District 6 Championships as one of the favorites to win the team title but came up short placing a strong 2nd.  They had a great showing that sent 9 to Regionals.  Out of those 9, the Raiders sent a school record 6 to the PIAA State Tournament.  Congratulations to Coach Walker and our Red Raider wrestlers on another successful season.
