The 48th annual Tony Iasiello Memorial Christmas City wrestling tournament will take place on December 29 and 30 at Bethlehem Catholic.

The Hawks annual event is their chance to enjoy the holidays at home, as well as win lots of medals.

Becahi crowned seven individual champions last year and will look to equal that number next week when action begins on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

The tournament has added New Jersey schools Cranford and Holy Cross, and traditional PIAA Class 2A power Athens from District 4. All three teams present an upgrade in competition, as Holy Cross features 195-pound New Jersey state runner-up Matt Correnti.

Athens junior Brian Courtney was a PIAA 2A runner-up last season at 120 pounds as well.

All the teams that are participating include Anneville Cleona, Arch Bishop Wood, Athens, Bethlehem Catholic, Blair Academy (Second Varsity Team), Cranford NJ., East Stroudsburg North, East Stroudsburg South, Elmer L. Meyers, First Colonial VA., The Hill School, Holy Cross, Louis E. Dieruff, Mariana Bracetti Academy, Muhlenberg, Notre Dame GP, Pocono Mountain West, Port Jervis NY., Scranton, Schuylkill Valley, Susquehanna Township, Upper Perkiomen and Wallenpaupack.

Wednesday’s action gets underway at 10 a.m. with semifinals and wrestling will continue all day until a 45 minute break to set up for the finals.

Becahi ran away with the team title last year with 259 points. Returning champs from last year’s tournament from Becahi include Mikey Lewis (106), Luke Carty (113), Luke Karam (126) Stephen Maloney (138) and Mike Labriola (152).
