3/13/2014 - Lancaster-Lebanon League defeated Berks County League last night in the annual senior dual meet held at Twin Valley High School.  Heading into the 195 bout, Berks was winning 26-16.  But it was the LL's Bennett (195) and Letham-Peterson (220) both picking up decisions that put the meet outcome in the hands of the 285lb bout.  Still down by 4, the LL needed a tech fall or fall to take the win.  Goodhart came through with a fall in the 2nd period to edge Berks by 2 with the final dual meet score of 28-26.
