Towanda wrestling coach Bill Sexton tied the Pennsylvania state record for most career wins when the Black Knights beat Williamson on Saturday.
That victory gave him 767 in his 46-year career, which tied him with Ridley coach Carl Schnellenbach for the most wins in PIAA history.
Coach Sexton will go for the state record on Tuesday afternoon when Towanda hosts Central Columbia.
The junior high match will start at 2 p.m. with the girls varsity scheduled for 3 and boys varsity match set for a 4 p.m. start at Towanda High School.
The match will be broadcast live on 95.3 The Bridge and the My Hometown Today app.
Here is a message from Towanda Athletic Director Jack Young on Tuesday’s event:
The Towanda Black Knights Wrestling Program will host the Central Columbia Blue Jays on Tuesday, December 23, in what promises to be a historic and exciting day for Towanda athletics.
Coach Sexton’s influence extends far beyond the mat, having shaped generations of student-athletes through discipline, sportsmanship, and a commitment to hard work that defines the Towanda Wrestling tradition.
The Towanda community, alumni, and wrestling fans from across the region are invited to attend and be part of this special occasion.
Please join us for what we hope will be a great day and a memorable moment in Towanda Wrestling history.
