Congratulations to the Boyertown Bears Wrestling team for their impressive performance at this weekend's District I South Wrestling Tournament. Ten BASH wrestlers entered the tournament, and ten BASH wrestlers left, still alive in the post season and as Team Champions. The Bears out distanced their opponents by over 50 points which guaranteed them the Team Title.

Taking home gold for the Bears were Matt Malfaro, Jeremy Minich, and Alex Pellicciotti. Earning runner up honors were Adam Kolb and Zach Heffner and earning 3rd place was Brock Hallman. Earning 4th and 5th place respectively were Tyler Mauger and Peter Jones. All of these Bears have already qualified to compete in next week's Regional Tournament.

Due a postponement and NFHS rule allowing a wrestler to only compete 5 times in a single day, Jon Neiman and Adam Benfield will have to compete tonight at Great Valley High School for a 5th place finish and the right to compete in the Regional tournament at Council Rock next week. GO BEARS!

Special congratulations go out to Jeremy Minch who earned his 100th career victory during the tournament!
