The Bethel Park wrestling team (7-0, 2-0) is off to a torrid start to their season, winning the Chartiers-Houston Tournament and going a perfect 5-0 at the Hampton Duals. Earlier this week, they dominated Mount Lebanon on the road, 57-11.
The Hawks have cracked the state’s PA Power Wrestling rankings at No. 8. Connellsville, Notre Dame-Green Pond, Nazareth, Easton, Gettysburg, and Franklin Regional compose the Top 7.
The Hawks also feature two individual wrestlers in the PA Power Wrestling Top 25 in their respective weight classes. Ethan Higgins is 13th at 152 pounds, and Colton Fisher is ranked 25th at 127 pounds.
The challenges continue as the Black Hawks prepare for the prestigious King of the Mountain tournament at Central Mountain High School this weekend, followed by the Powerade tournament at Canon-McMillan High School next weekend, often regarded as the nation's top high school wrestling tournament.
