With the final week of regular season competition upon them, our DE wrestlers met the challenge head-on. Wrestling back-to-back duals, East capped off a remarkable dual meet season by defeating Pottsgrove and Ridley on successive nights. They finish their 23-24 campaign with a 16-1 overall record and an undisputed Chesmont National League championship. On Wednesday 2/14, the Cougars roughed up Pottsgrove 64-10 and celebrated the careers of their seniors, and senior parents. A big congratulations go out to seniors Paxson Warnock (139), Stephen Elinski (145), Felix Mason (215), and Adham Abouraya (285) who all won big on the night! On Thursday 2/15, the squad took a long bus ride to Delaware County and battled against a physical Ridley team. The odds seemed to be against them, but big pins by Declan McDowell (127), Cade McDowell (172), Felix Mason (215), and Adham Abouraya (285) tilted the field back to blue and gold and East won 35-30. It certainly has been a long road, but the outcome is gratifying and the team knows it has the potential for great success. Now, the post-season is around the corner and the Varsity and JV will train hard for the JV Chesmont Championships held at home and the District 1 West tournament at Oxford a week from Saturday. Good luck to all and keep your eyes on the prize!
