Northern boys wrestlers pile on bonus points in 41-20 Keystone win over Hershey

DILLSBURG – The Northern boys wrestling team was the preseason consensus selection of Mid-Penn Conference Keystone Division coaches and on Thursday night, they grappled to that form. The Polar Bears piled on bonus points early and often, built a comfortable 30-5 lead after seven bouts and went on to a 41-20 victory over the Trojans. Northern’s Gabe Johnson scores a third-period takedown on Hershey’s Christian Burd in the 172-pound bout.
