HERSHEY – The Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawks continue to make Pennsylvania wrestling History as they claimed their sixth PIAA State Dual Team Championship on Saturday inside the GIANT Center in just eight years. It is their second while competing in Class AAA and they now are one ahead of Reynolds in their State record for number of Team titles.

It was a performance highlighted by six wrestlers earning bonus points and only giving up three bonus point defeats to Kiski. In the end BECAHI was too much for the Cavaliers who fell behind late in the dual meet that began at 138 lbs. After #1 Isaac Reid got a major decision at 285 lbs. the Hawks won five straight matches to close out the Championship (38-22).
