It was a battle for the ages as the High School Varsity Team hosted the Manheim Township Blue Streaks at Buchanan Gym on Thursday, January 28th. Anchored by a strong bottom lineup, Township led the contest early 9-16 after 6 matches, but the Black Knights rallied to a 39-20 win in the end on the strength of two forfeits, a last-second(s) victory at 152lbs, and 3 overall pins. Congratulations Hempfield Wrestlers on an amazing victory!
