Wilkes-Barre declared it to be “Ned McGinley Day.” The Monarchs made sure to make it count for their retiring wrestling coach.
King’s rallied to win four of the final five bouts on Friday to earn a 30-16 victory over Elizabethtown at the Scandlon Gymnasium.
It was the 453rd career win for McGinley, who announced last week he would be stepping down at the end of this, his 48th year leading the program.
With former King’s wrestlers in attendance, McGinley was presented with a commemorative poster and a proclamation from the city.
On the mats, King’s trailed 12-9 halfway through the evening before getting pins from Howard Kilpatrick, Rocco Hladney, Edward Merrill and Ralph Bernardo to take control of the match.
James Wright also won by fall for the Monarchs.
Wilkes, 27, TCNJ 16
Kyle Medrow and Guesseppe Rea each earned a pin as the Colonels picked up a victory on senior day.
Seniors Rea and Pankil Chander were both victorious after a pre-match ceremony that honored seven Wilkes seniors.
