Several Norwin wrestlers took part in the Ultimate Club Duals freestyle tournaments April 24 in State College.
The Knights claimed their first trophy in freestyle competition, taking third place with a 6-2 record.
Home sweet home?
The Norwin softball team thought it finally was going to play on its home field April 25, but North Allegheny asked to postpone the teams’ Section 1-6A game.
Norwin had been dealing with unplayable outfield conditions on its home diamond, which has a turf infield and grass outfield. But the field was ready to go before the cancellation.
Norwin had not played a home game since March 25.
Mihalov player of week
Norwin junior middle hitter Michael Mihalov was named a Class 3A player of the week by the Western PA Volleyball Coaches Association.
Norwin held strong at No. 3 in the association rankings, behind No. 2 Seneca Valley and WPIAL power North Allegheny.
Other area teams Hempfield (5), Penn-Trafford (6) and Latrobe (10) stayed in the top 10.
Norwin shut out Armstrong, 3-0, in a recent match (25-16, 25-11, 25-20).
Kevin Skewers led the team with seven kills and Luke Mumpower had 28 assists.
