The Parkland Wrestling organization hosted the Nighthawks from Ironwood Ridge High School, Tucson, Arizona. It was a full week, with the boys from both organizations taking part in practices with wrestlers from Easton, Freedom, Nazareth, Pleasant Valley, Stroudsburg in addition to our regular lift schedule. The team from Arizona had the opportunity to visit Lehigh University and take in Dorney Park. The week was capped by a picnic at Independence Park which was attended by both teams and their respective coaching staffs, as well as our host families and many others from the Parkland Wrestling organization. A highlight of the evening was a volleyball game which saw the Nighthawk and Trojan wrestlers combine to take on the coaches from both teams and the Parkland parents. In a tight match, the coaches team prevailed 2 games to 1.
