On January 21, 2009, dozens of alumni who participated in Penn Manor’s wrestling program over the past 50 years gathered and caught up with one another at a social before a dual meet pitting Penn Manor against rival Hempfield. The wrestlers were joined by many of the coaches from the past also.
A highlight of the evening was the introduction of the alumni wrestlers before the evening’s match began. This honored group of alumni included Penn Manor’s State Champ, Jere Herr, from the Class of 1963.
Both head coaches for the evening’s match were Penn Manor alumni wrestlers. Jude Bervinchack, Class of 1976, coaches the Hempfield team, while Steve Hess, Class of 1990, is Penn Manor’s head coach.
