ESU wrestled well against LIU Post, securing a close 26-24 victory on Tuesday night in Koehler Fieldhouse. These are some of the photo highlights of the W.
Nazareth against Stroudsburg and Pocono Mountain East against Northampton. What a night for high school wrestling!
Both matches were filled with excitement and well into the bouts, both matches were tied! The enthusiastic crowd cheered on.
Nazareth pulled away from Stroudsburg about three-quarters of the way through the match with a couple of well-placed pins. The other match, however, went down to the last and final bout. Northampton was leading by three points going into the final matchup. The crowd was stirred into a frenzy as the final and deciding bout began. The decision went to East and they won the match 31-30!
Even the winners looked worn out on this night!

This week featured an exciting Mountain Valley Conference match-up for the championship. Winner take all! For all the marbles! However you want to say it, this match was going to determine the winner of this years Mountain Valley Conference. Stroudsburg had the three previous titles and once again Pleasant Valley came in as the predicted underdog, even though they outranked Stroudsburg in the District playoffs.
Sadly, I was not able to photograph the Varsity match due to another commitment, but I was able to photograph the Junior High match. These photographs are just a sampling of the photos I captured at this match. You can view all the photos here.
I hope these photos reveal at least some of the excitement and enthusiasm that came out on this huge night. It was a night of noise, enthusiasm, excitement, and champions!
