NEW BETHLEHEM — The Warren County girls wrestling team had a very successful Saturday when they competed at the Redbank Valley Girls Wrestling Tournament. Out of the 27 teams competing, the Dragons earned a 6th place team finish with numerous place finishers and strong performances.

“The girls wrestled hard,” commented head coach Glen Baldensperger. “We will take our wins and lessons in preparation for next weekend (at Hubbard, Ohio).”

Abbie Darr needed just 51 seconds to pin her Fort LeBoeuf opponent to claim first place in her class, and Jenna Kophazy made the podium with a 3rd place finish. Maci Hodak finished 3rd, and McKenzie Hodak 4th in the junior high division.

In her first varsity tournament, Karolina Martinelli finished with a strong 3-2 record, as did Bryn Lindell. Another top-6 finisher was Madisyn Flores, who ended the day 3-2. Picking up her first ever varsity win was Loupeeta Shirley, who bumped up a weight class to help fill out the lineup.
