HERSHEY >> The victories in the first session of day three at the PIAA Championships exemplified a “character win.” Wrestlers who had fallen short of their dreams of being a state champion and endured a grueling three-day tournament showcased their resilience.

After all, last year the Golden Panthers missed out on the District 1-4A title game for the first time in five years. However, a mix of experienced senior leaders and new underclass contributors, guided by a new coach Earl Wise, overcame early challenges to not only win the program’s first District title since 2021, but also the right to host a state playoff game.
