If Council Rock South’s finish is as good or better as their start, the Golden Hawks will be in a very good position.
CR South’s grapplers’ recent third-place finish at the Bethlehem Holiday Wrestling Classic was another strong early showing, along with their second-place finishes at the Cumberland Valley Kickoff Classic and King of the Mountain tournament.
The Golden Hawks also have recorded lopsided victories over Owen J. Roberts (61-8) and Spring-Ford (46-14) around a tight and tough 33-31 loss to rival Quakertown.
“We are getting better every week, so that is exciting,” said CR South head coach Brad Silimperi. “We had a fantastic showing in Bethlehem placing third as a team considering the off the mat things teams are dealing with.”
CR South senior Matt Colajezzi won the 160-pound weight class with a decision, and fellow seniors Shermuhammad Sadriddinov (145) and Lucas Doyle (215) took silver medals.
Colajezzi, who was fourth in the state last year, kept his record unblemished at 15-0. Sadriddinov raised his mark to 15-3 and Doyle upped his slate to 13-4.
