jilimacao online casino app Drones above Long Island: What to know about the reported sightingsThis week marks a milestone moment in Johnstown wrestling history. Pennsylvania Highlands Community College announced Tuesday that it has hired Willie Harris as the first wrestling coach in school history. A 2008 graduate of Greater Johnstown High School, Harris will lead the Black Bears’ men’s and women’s programs. Beginning in the 2025-26 season, they’ll compete in Division III of the National Junior College Athletic Association and in Region 20 as a member of the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference. Penn Highlands’ decision to launch men’s and women’s programs will give so many opportunities to young men and women in the Johnstown area and throughout the state. I’ve been a part of wrestling in this area, in one capacity or another, for more than 40 years. During that time, I’ve seen countless individuals who had the talent and desire to wrestle past the high school level, but never did. Maybe they weren’t interested in attending a four-year college or didn’t have the financial wherewithal to do so. Perhaps they loved the sport, but knew making the lineup at a Division II or Division III program – let alone a D-I school – would be a long shot. Or maybe they spent more time concentrating on wrestling than classes while in high school only to realize too late that their priorities should have been reversed. Long road to wrestling There are hundreds of local wrestlers who could have benefited from a junior college program in the area, and Harris knows many of them. He either coached them or against them during his decade-long career with the Greater Johnstown and Westmont Hilltop high school programs. “Penn Highlands is a place that many people thought would be a good spot for a program, considering the success of wrestling within the area,” Harris said in a Penn Highlands release. “I want to help give these athletes an opportunity to chase their goals and be at the next level for both wrestling and education.” I first heard talk of a program at Penn Highlands more than a decade ago in a conversation far from the Richland Township campus. I was at a social event between sessions of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis when I struck up a conversation with a gentleman – sadly, I do not recall his name – who, upon hearing that I was from Johnstown, mentioned that it would be the perfect spot for a JUCO program. He knew of the Division II powerhouse program at Pitt-Johnstown and the Mountain Cats’ legendary coach Pat Pecora. A junior college program, the gentleman said, could provide a great pipeline to Pitt-Johnstown. I mentioned the conversation to Pecora at some point, but it never progressed beyond that point. Fast forward more than a decade to when I joined the board of directors for the Somerset County Chamber of Commerce. Penn Highlands President Steven Nunez serves as president of the chamber board, and one of the first things I said to him upon meeting him was, “Why doesn’t Penn Highlands have wrestling programs?” Little did he know that it would be a topic I’d return to often over the next year. Johnstown’s wrestling history I told Nunez about the strong wrestling culture in the area. How this region had produced champions from Jeff Richardson and Carlton Haselrig to Matt Beaujon and Jake Strayer. From John Rizzo and Nick Roberts to Max Murin and Cody Law. From Jody Strittmatter to Bo Bassett and Jax Forrest, and from Mariah Harris to Jordyn Fouse. How Strittmatter’s Young Guns Wrestling Club has been one of the best in the nation for years and how Bishop McCort Catholic recently developed into one of the best high school squads in the country. How Pecora built a dynasty in Division II and how, 90 minutes away in State College, Cael Sanderson was bringing new meaning to that term in Division I. How schools within an hour or two of Johnstown – from Penn State Altoona to St. Vincent to Frostburg, Maryland – were adding programs that could benefit from wrestling teams in Richland Township. Not to mention how Pitt-Johnstown, which is located across the street from Penn Highlands, would love nothing more than to see standout wrestlers at Penn Highlands. I spoke to Pecora about it in 2023. Even as he battled lung cancer that would eventually take his life, Pecora was excited about the prospect of dozens of talented wrestlers training next door to, or even with, his Mountain Cats. Pursuing greatness Mike Moyer, who is the executive director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, talked with Nunez and Penn Highlands Athletic Director Sue Brugh about the benefits of adding men’s and women’s wrestling programs. The Penn Highlands leadership team was excited about the opportunities that wrestling could bring to their institution and saw the vision of how the Black Bears could quickly become a national power in the junior college ranks just by recruiting wrestlers from districts 5, 6 and 7. The talent is here, and Harris has the knowledge, the energy and the contacts to make it happen. It’s an exciting time for wrestling in and around Johnstown, and here’s hoping that members of the community latch onto this program and support his efforts to bring greatness to Penn Highlands.
