Ready for Battle. senior Evan Boose and senior Matthew Riccio warm up as partners on the first home match of the season. Both of these wrestlers pinned their opponent and Altoona won 64-4.

On Jan. 18, the wrestling team will have their senior night match against Dubois. The wrestling team is 10-5 and won a tournament on Saturday Jan. 13 going 6-0. The seniors on the team are Evan Boose, Hayden Speece, Wyatt Young, Matthew Riccio, Hayden McMillion and William Himmelwright.

“I wish I would have more years to do wrestling and I wish I could have done it in elementary, junior high and high school,” McMillion said. “I feel like we’ll do amazing against DuBois and bring home a win.”

The cost is $2 for students and $4 for adults. Students must have their ID to get into the event.

My name is Eric Weyant. I am a sophomore on the Mountain Echo and Horseshoe staff. I am a bass drummer in the band. When I'm not drumming, I'm playing basketball or cornhole. I'm very good at cornhole. In my first tournament, I placed in the top 5. I like playing with my family in Claysburg, and we enter tournaments together. I'm excited to tell you what's going on in the school this year.
