The Exeter High School wrestling team improved to 4-0 in the Berks League and 8-1 overall after three Berks League wins. It has been a great start to the season for the Eagles who are picking up where they left off last year. The Eagles were 6-1 last year, finishing in second place in Division 1. But their one loss was to Governor Mifflin, the team that won the division with a perfect 7-0 record.
The Eagles will take a holiday break before they resume their schedule in the new year. The next Berks League match for the Eagles will be against Governor Mifflin on Jan. 7. The Mustangs are the defending division champs and the match will go a long way in determining this year’s division champions.
