For example — did you know that the Suffern High School wrestling team just got crowned as Rockland County Champs? That’s the first county wrestling crown the Mounties have won in some seven years. Area wrestling coaches also paid tribute to Suffern and longtime Ramapo Central School District guidance counselor and coach Mickey DeSimone, who died suddenly and tragically this past December.
Congrats to @SuffWrestling, Rockland County champs! And to Stephen Lauro, Peter Pjetri and Daiton Powell, champs in their weight classes! — Ramapo Central (@RCSDMounties) February 1, 2015
Suffern also produced several county champs, including Stephem Lauro, Peter Pjetri and Daiton Powell.
