On Saturday the PAWF Kids Club Duals were competed and Head Coach Jody Strittmatter saw his club win their SEVENTH Championship title in a row. Consisting of wrestlers between the age levels of Bantam through Schoolboy, Young Guns Blue defeated team Banditos of Virginia in the finals (60-18), capping a perfect day on the mat. Chambersburg Area wrestler Tate Nichter was named the Outstanding Wrestler of the Kids Division.

Winning their seventh straight Kids Club Duals Championship Strittmatter and the Young Guns WC staff have seen an incredible amount of talent come through the ranks. Names like current NCAA Division I wrestlers Michael Kemerer, DJ Hollingshead, Josh Maruca and Josh Shields have all contributed to Kids Club Championships for Young Guns over the last seven years.
