No challenge understanding wrestling scoring, or finding Nanticoke events
After going to three Nanticoke Area matches I think I can safely say I am no
longer confused by the scoring of high school wrestling. It just took a little
time. Plus, the chart of hand signals that the officials use in the program
was helpful. There were impressive performances by Nanticoke wrestlers Derek
Sheruda, Jeremy Baer, Matt Yokavonis, and Tony Rodriguez. The physical
challenges of wrestling are impressive. Makes my challenge of trying to
understand the scoring seem trivial. One thing that is not a challenge is
finding interesting things to do in Nanticoke … here are some right now. The
Greater Nanticoke Area Senior Yearbook Staff announces its subscription dates
of Monday, February 14 (Valentine’s Day) until Friday, March 3 to order the
Trojanaire 2000 Yearbook. A cash deposit or check payable to the G.N.A.
Yearbook in the amount of $40 can be made in the high school library, Monday

Balance is payable by April 15. Students in grades 8-9-10-11-12 can order the
Trojanaire that will include class pictures, activities, sports,

year. Students will receive an order form, which they can complete and return
to the library with their deposit during the subscription period. The
Trojanaire 2000 deluxe edition also comes with your full name engraved on
