On January 21, 2022, the wrestling team rivals collided under the light and on the mat. Point Pleasant Beach Vs Point Pleasant Borough.
The school had been roaring with panther spirit, tickets selling out like crazy. Kids trying to sell their extra tickets for 50 dollars a pop. Some tickets ended up being able to auction off their tickets for 150 dollars over a phone call during class time. Talk of the match filled every class, teacher playing panther nation and hype videos left and right. The Friday night under the lights for wrestlers had arrived.
Parents had been there all night setting up for the event. The parents had been running around picking things up and setting up for the night, excitement for the boys illuminated the hallways. When the time finally came people began to arrive and were piling into the stands wearing all black to show their support for Point Pleasant Borough. As the Point Beach fans wore white.
The lights went down and music began, Nicolette Connors sang the national anthem with her gorgeous voice that filled the gym. Drums from the percussionist of the High School Marching Band and the voices of the cheerleader all making as much noise as they could to show off their school spirit. When the players on the rivals’ side came out of the pit decided to do something more creative than just turning around. They all held up newspapers and decided not to look. Yet the gym roared when Borough wrestlers ran out to the spotlight to kill any of the last minute’s nerves and get in a few warm-ups.
The fights filled the gym with excitement. The crowd was fully invested in the show that was right in front of them. And as the wins rolled in the energy boomed.
The game ended with a win for Point Pleasant Borough by 51 points, the final score was 53-2. Seems like the panthers had some seagulls for dinner.
