WRESTLING
Mifflin County 34, Chambersburg 25; Chambersburg 36, State College 33: The Trojans opened their season with a split against two quality Mid Penn Commonwealth opponents in Lewisburg on Saturday morning.

Tyler Frye

Against the Huskies, Chambersburg trailed 25-6 with six bouts to go. The Trojans won the first four of them to tie the match 25-25, but Mifflin County captured a decision and pin in the final two bouts. Of the four decisions won by three or fewer points, the Huskies won all four.

The Trojans led the Little Lions 33-12 with five bouts remaining and SC won four of them. But an 11-5 decision for Tyler Frye at 152 sealed the victory with one match left.

“There were four good teams up there (Gettysburg went 2-0 vs. MC and SC),” Chambersburg coach Matt Mentzer said. “We had a couple of opportunities to pull it out against Mifflin County, and that kind of swung the match a little. It was a lot of back-and-forth against State College.”

Three Trojan wrestlers were 2-0 — Aiden Hight had 2 pins, Gabe Nolan had a pin and a major decision and Zach Sherman had a decision and pin.

Mentzer said, “We have some young kids finding their way and some freshmen and sophomores had their ups and downs. Nolan had two good matches. (Ashton) Romberger jumped up a weight class twice (going 1-1), and Frye did a nice job in that last match, although he had to fight off his back with about 30 seconds to go.

“We did not have a smooth week of practice, and we weren’t right weight-wise yet, but the kids hustled.”

GIRLS BASKETBALL
Northern York 39, Chambersburg 33: The Trojans led most of the game, but the host Polar Bears outscored Chambersburg 19-12 in the fourth to win the Northern Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday evening.

Bree Paetow

Northern, picked to win the Mid Penn Colonial, had plenty of trouble against Chambersburg’s defense early. The Trojans led 11-6 after one quarter and moved the lead to 14-7 with 1:15 left before halftime.

Unfortunately, in that final 1:15, the Bears outscored Chambersburg 7-1 to trail by only 15-14 at the half.

In a low-scoring third period, a three-point play by T.T. Kelly helped the Trojans (1-1) maintain that one-point lead, 21-20.

On Northern’s first possession of the fourth quarter, Cassidy Sadler drove for a layup and completed a three-point play, giving her team its first lead of the game at 23-21. Ella Parker came right back with a three-point play of her own to give Chambersburg the lead back, 24-23.

Emily Forrester made an acrobatic rebound basket and was fouled and her free throw gave the Trojans a 29-27 lead with 3:58 left.

But Chambersburg big Riley Evans had fouled out and the Bears began to take advantage underneath, as Hannah Freese scored 7 of her points in the final 3 1/2 minutes — all underneath the basket — to give her team the lead for good.

A 3-point shot by Bree Paetow with 1:16 left brought Chambersburg, which totaled 30 turnovers, to within 36-33, but Northern iced it with free throws.

Forrester — who was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player — scored 10 points for the Trojans and added 14 rebounds. Paetow contributed 7 points and Evans had 5.

“I’m really excited about how the girls competed,” Chambersburg coach Jamiur King said. “Northern is a great team with a ton of talent in their starters and reserves.

“Bree Paetow is a gamer — she makes big shots at big times of the game. Ella Parker, Hailey Frankhouser and Riley Evans all provided great energy.”

In the consolation game, Shippensburg was defeated 50-41 by East Pennsboro.
