Bethlehem Catholic Makes it Four Straight State Dual Team Titles
The Bethlehem Catholic wrestling team secured a spot in PIAA History as they captured a fourth straight PIAA Class AA State Dual Team Championship. The Golden Hawks tied Easton Area and Central Dauphin for most State Dual Team Championships in a row since the Tournament’s inception in 1999.
BECA achieved the feat in dominating fashion as they cruised to a 41-15 win in the Finals over District 10 Champion Reynolds. In their four matches at the GIANT Center Bethlehem Catholic only gave up 18 points to their opponents. In total they recorded a point total of 235-18 in four matches. It was also the second year in a row BECA defeated Reynolds in the State Finals as they topped the Raiders 43-16 in the 2013 State Finals.
Head Coach Jeff Karam and his squad remained undefeated at 15-0 for the 2014 Season. The last time Bethlehem Catholic lost a dual meet was on February 16, 2011 to Easton Area 35-22.
