BETHEL PARK WRESTLING
2017
Media Guide
BOOSTER LETTER Dear Wrestling Friends and Family, I ask you to join me in honoring the hard work, courage and accomplishments of the young men competing for Bethel Park Wrestling in the 2016-17 Season. It takes a great deal of courage to compete in wrestling and I am very proud to support all of the wrestlers, from our newest beginners to our Powerade Champion, Nino Bonaccorsi. They are all champions for competing well in such a hard sport. The Varsity has a mix of veterans, newcomers and returnees, absent from years gone by. They have pulled together and, despite some key injuries, have already accomplished a lot: including sixth place at Eastern Areas (out of 26), fourteenth at the King of the Mountain (out of 30), and eleventh at the Allegheny County Tournament (out of 34 teams). The individual accomplishments have been even more remarkable, with numerous medalists up and down the line-up. The Junior High team has also had a great season, including a third place finish at the Ambridge Tournament, seventh at South Fayette, and seventh out of 38 teams at the South Side Beaver Tournament. I would like to thank following people who have made this year a success: first, our coaches, Bob Stewart, Mark Bonaccorsi, Tim Crawford and Jeff Johns for their dedication and efforts in coaching our wrestlers and building character on and off the mat; second, our team managers, Riley Gercak and Sami Dunn, for their unfailing good cheer and efforts in making the matches and tournaments go smoothly; third, to our Principal Zeb Jansante and to our Athletic Director Dan Sloan, and Athletic Secretary, Lynn Sivetz, for all of their support; and, fourth, to my colleagues on the Board: Shawn O’Mara, Kerri Hartman and Amy Kernan and, fifth, to the wrestling parents that support our organization and, sixth, to our fans and alumni that come out and cheer the kids on. Finally, I’d like to recognize our youth coach, Shawn Dunlap, and Rec President, Nik Del Greco, for their outstanding efforts in preparing the next generation of Hawk Wrestlers. Our home matches are like a reunion and it is great to see everyone turn out to support the new generation of Bethel Park Wrestlers! Thanks for coming out. Design donated by ocreations.

Our family has been in the restaurant business for three generations. We want you to bring the Pasta Too experience into your home so you can start building memories of your own.”
