Senior Luke Sipes grabs onto his opponent at the Jan. 5 match last year.

Boys’ wrestling will only have three home games for their whole winter season. Students who want to follow the team will have to travel to the opponent’s school.

“We’re looking to improve our team for a successful season this year,” Coach Joel Gilbert said.

The first home game is on Dec. 21 at 1:00 p.m. against Williamsport. The second home game is on Jan. 11, at 7:00 p.m. against Indiana Area Senior High. The third home game is on Jan. 18, at 7:00 p.m. against DuBois.

Danielle Bardelang, Public Relations Manager
I am a senior at the Altoona Area High School and am the public relations manager for the Mountain Echo newspaper. I seek excellence in my academic and extracurricular pursuits. I began writing at a young age, but fell in love with it in eighth grade. I absolutely love anything art related. Writing and art allows me to express myself and tell a story through all I do. I enjoy twirling batons, and spending time with family and friends.  I am involved with many clubs and groups within the school such as student ambassadors, student council, band front and yearbook. During my senior year I am holding the titles of Majorette Captain, and Yearbook Editor-in-Chief.  "This is my life... my story... my book. I will no longer let anyone else write it; nor will I apologize for the edits I make." - Steve Maraboli.
