Five Dallas Junior High wrestlers competed this weekend for the Area 12–Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling (PJW) Tournament hosted by Tunkhannock Area High School. Area 12 is comprised of six counties in the northeast section of Pennsylvania and sends its best wrestlers to compete for a spot to wrestle in the state tournament. Finishing in the top of their respective brackets were Liam Farrell, second; Len Kelly, second; John Betzko, third; and Nick Solinsky and Matt Maransky, fourth. The top three wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the state competition to be held March 5-6 at the War Memorial Arena in Johnstown.
