DuBois Lions' Wrestling


All the pieces are coming together for our wrestling team - committed students, experienced coaches, available opponents, and reasonably-priced gear. We are grateful for your responses and positive thoughts!


We have a request. 

On Monday, November 11th at 2:30pm we will have a wrestling mat delivered to the school. 

Please join us (or allow your student to help) in lifting and moving these heavy items. 

We should be done unloading by 4pm. 

Thank you in advance.
