Joseph Hester is among the high school team’s best wrestlers, placing in the top three in his weight class in multiple tournaments.
In the Tunkhannock Kiwanis Tournament, he was in the top three with wrestlers from 26 schools represented.
Hester wrestles because of the immense physical challenge it offers, and the reward of beating someone of equal or greater skill.
“To be successful at wrestling you have to work hard and be dedicated to it year round,” Hester said.

“I love the fast pace of the game,” Rotella said. “I love my coaches and teammates and feel like they are like a second family for me.”
