We have set up a joint event Tuesday night, Dec 14th with the Wallkill Valley squad.  They have been kind enough to host a Novice/JV exhibition match event at the Franklin Elementary School, 50 Washington Ave, Franklin NJ.  We should be able to get matches for all of our Novice and JV wrestlers.  Our clubs match up very well in age/weight and ability, (including first year wrestlers) this is a great opportunity to get some match experience before our Dec 19th home tournament.  

Coach Silvestri and the wallkill coaches will run a joint-practice for the Varsity squads in the wallkill wrestling room while the novice/jv matches are underway.  The times are as follows:

Novice/JV:  6:00p check-in.   Matches begin at 6:30 and run until ~8:30'ish

Varsity:        6:15p check-in.   Practice begins at 6:30 SHARP runs until 8:15p.
