UPJ adds 15 for 2013-14 season

   UPJ officially announced that 15 wrestlers are joining the team for the 2013-14 season under legendary coach Pat Pecora. Locally, the big name of note is Northern Bedford graduate Drew Gartland. Gartland won over 100 bouts in high school and made two trips to the regional tournament.

   The highlights for this group are a trio of two-time PIAA state placewinners in Heath Coles, Adam Nickelson, and Zach Swarrow. Also, former Shade wrestler James Otten is transferring in after a year at Edinboro University.
