LOWER GWYNEDD — It was a somewhat unaccustomed experience Upper Perkiomen faced Thursday.
Certainly not opening the District 1-Class AAA Teams Duals with a
victory, which they were able to accomplish. No, the unusual aspect of
the Indians’ 34-24 triumph over Garnet Valley lay with the fact it was
secured by wrestlers at the upper end of the weight scale.
“It was a little different,” head coach Tom Hontz said at the
conclusion of the night’s action at Wissahickon. “We’ve been used to our
little guys clinching matches for us.”
To be sure, the Tribe flexed their muscle at the lower end of the
lineup. Two of the Steffenino brothers, Dustin (106) and Dante (120),
staked the locals to an initial 10-3 lead in a match that started at the
light end of the lineup. And Wolfgang McStravick (145), along with Ray
Young (160), provided a timely boost to UP’s fortunes after the Jaguars
reversed the early deficit into a five-point lead through six.
