first-ever Duals on Desmond was a huge success. We saw great wrestling
on the mat and the atmosphere was outstanding with live music and food
trucks on Desmond Street,” said Kyle Williams, who is one of the
tournament’s organizers. “As soon as we wrapped up last year’s event, we
started planning for the next one.
"We have put together an
awesome lineup of wrestlers and coaches," added Williams. "A great local
band, Bad Eye Deer, will be back to perform before the wrestling begins
and we have some outstanding food and drink trucks that will be on
hand.”
There are some incredible matchups already set, including a
varsity girls battle between two state champions — three-time PIAA
champion Brenda Banks of Panther Valley and two-time N.Y. champion
Peyton Mullins of Dundee — and a varsity boys showdown between a pair of
state medalists.
