Panthers Wrestlers Take on Powerhouse Paulsboro Wednesday Night

No. 4 Collingswood is wrestling for its chance to advance to the Group 1 finals against top-seeded Paulsboro.

The Collingswood High School wrestling team knows exactly what it is up against tonight. The wrestlers know they are being given little chance of upsetting one of South Jersey’s true wrestling powerhouses.
