Manheim Central and Cocalico wrestled a WHOPPER of a match as the Section 2 Title was on the line for the Barons! It was back & forth all night… but Central sent out their Hammer, Brett Barbush to seal it with a pin at 160lbs! Barons won 32-30 & moved to 6-0 in Section 2 with one match remaining against Donegal on January 25!
Manheim Central WON an epic Section 2 Showdown against Warwick... 67-60 in Overtime! Barons take Round 1 & a 2 game lead in Section Play... the rematch with the Warriors is set for February 9 in Manheim!

And the Gold Medal goes to... the Exeter Eagles, who knocked off #1 Manheim Central 67-53 in the 5A District 3 Championship Game!
