Sixteen Schools Meet At Bohemia Manor For 16th Wrestling Invitational

   The weekend of the Battle at the Bridge Invitational is a big one for Cecil County high school wrestling. Dozens of wrestlers, representing sixteen schools, from as far away as Virginia and New Jersey converged on host Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City this Friday and Saturday to compete.

     The tournament, in its 16th Edition, offered a chance for the five schools from Cecil County to test their mettle against these rival schools.

     Many local wrestlers made it through pool play with a chance to vie for a meet championship, but no match was more anticipated or heated than the semi-final pairing of Elkton's Timmy Taylor and Rising Sun's Joe Jurgans.  Before a packed field house at Bohemia Manor, Jurgans tallied early takedowns and reversals to open up a large lead and came away with the win against the previosuly undefeated Taylor.

     In the slideshow below are scenes from throughout the day at Bo Manor. Enjoy.
