Wrestling: Snow sends wrestlers into District Duals cold

Garnet Valley wrestling coach Rocco Fantazzi looked at this week’s weather forecast Sunday and, like most of us, assumed the role of dime-store meteorologist.

“I went into Monday’s practice a little harder than I had planned, because I knew the snow was coming and that there was a pretty good chance we wouldn’t have school on Tuesday,’ Fantazzi said.

“When we found out we’d be out of school Wednesday too, that really shook things up. It’s like we’re walking into the unknown.’

Garnet Valley, Penncrest, Upper Darby and Chichester are the Delco representatives in the 24-team PIAA Class AAA District One Duals, which are set to open at four sites Thursday night.
