Photos: Combat on the Mat

Wrestlers from the combined Berne-Knox-Westerlo and Voorheesville team have had a tough season. Last Thursday, only five team members could compete against Fonda-Fultonville/Johnstown as the others sat out with injuries. With so many uncontested matches, the team lost, 61 to 9, but those who did compete wrestled hard.
