The Plum wrestling team turns its focus this week from team competition to individual accomplishments with subsection and section tournaments taking center stage throughout the WPIAL.
The Mustangs were slated to wrestle at the Class AAA Section 1B tournament Wednesday which feeds surviving qualifiers to Saturday’s main Section 1 tournament at Kiski Area.
Wednesday subsection matches were to be contested past this week’s deadline.
A number of Plum wrestlers established themselves throughout the team duals and helped the team compile a 9-6 overall record and a 3-2 mark in section matches.

After more starts and stops to the season than he cares to remember, Plum wrestling coach Mike Supak said he’s anxious to see his team begin competition this week.
The Mustangs, who had conducted only a couple of practices before Gov. Tom Wolf’s shutdown orders Dec. 10 as part of overall mitigation efforts to slow the covid-19 spread, got back in the wrestling room Jan. 4. So far, Supak likes what he sees from a roster of 16.
