The Wrestling Team competed with its cross-town rival Upper Dublin last night. And while the result is not what we wanted it was a good, exciting competitive meet. This was the 15th meeting between the two teams when competing for the Ambler/Fireside Cup. In the last 15 meetings, including last night, Upper Dublin now has 8 wins while Wissahickon has 7 wins. The meet also featured our 1st ever female match for Wissahickon. Daira Gonzalez competed for the Trojans at 107 against Upper Dublin's Alicia Matthews. And it was also Youth Night where 5 of Wissahickon Youth wrestlers competed against 5 Upper Dublin Youth wrestlers.
