    Northwestern junior Luke Fugazzotto finished his state championship wrestling weekend with a strong performance in the Class 2A bracket, placing seventh at 172 pounds. Fugazzotto pinned Frazier’s Jackson Angelo in 4:57 to claim his second state medal, and finish the season with a stellar 50-5 record. “I fell pretty short of what I really wanted to do,” said Fugazzotto, who was second in Hershey a year ago.

    BETHLEHEM – It’s the first stop on the Road to Hershey. It’s also a chance for wrestlers to make a statement as the postseason gets underway. Northwestern’s Luke Fugazzotto and Weston Killar took full advantage of that opportunity at the District 11 tournament. The duo earned gold in the Class 2A bracket, doing so in dominant fashion.

    Northwestern wrestlers Luke Fugazzotto and Nolan Koehler qualified for states with top-five finishes at last weekend’s PIAA Class 2A Southeast Regional Championships. Fugazzotto qualified for states for the third time in his career after reaching the final Saturday, where he dropped a 12-0 major decision to Faith Christian Academy’s Nick Singer at 172 pounds. “It just helps me learn what I have to do better if I see him again,” said Fugazzotto.

    Luke Fugazzotto can see the progress in the process. Each time he steps on the mat, the Northwestern junior seems to take another leap forward. Fugazzotto showed his growth a year ago with a spot in the PIAA Class 2A 172-pound final. And he has continued that evolution — and dominance — this season, winning his first 36 matches, including the 100th of his career, to open his junior campaign.

    HERSHEY — The PIAA Cross Country Championships are more than just the culmination of a season. They are a celebration of the days, weeks, months — and sometimes years — it takes to get to there. Never a right and always a privilege, the chance to compete at the state meet in Hershey is always a unique opportunity. And that was especially true Saturday as runners hit the Parkview Cross Country Course to cap another remarkable season.
