Lehigh Valley high school wrestlers excel at Bethlehem holiday classic

http://www.mcall.com/sports/varsity/mc-liberty-wrestling-classic-1228-20121228,0,4042424.story FROM THE MORNING CALL Only three local teams appear in the top 10 after Friday, the first night of the Bethlehem Holiday Wrestling Classic in Liberty High School's Memorial Gymnasium, and one — Nazareth — is not in the building at all because of a skin infection circulating among the team members. But while the local teams are not dominating, some individuals are. Northampton, in 17th place among the 28 schools, has three wrestlers in the semifinals Saturday, Dec. 29, two of whom pulled off upsets. Matt Scheetz (113) defeated top seed Danny Boychuck of Wyoming Seminary by a 4-2 count in the quarters, and Bobby Fehr won an 8-2 decision over second seed Nick McGinley of St. Mark's. Scheetz and Fehr will join teammate Zach Valley (126) in the semifinals, which have been moved up to 9:30 a.m. in an attempt to get the balance of the tournament in due to an impending snowstorm.
