Hempfield wins L-L Wrestling Playoffs

The Hempfield Black Knights have won the 2022 Lancaster Lebanon League wrestling title. This was the 28th such L-L wrestling title tournament.

Northern Lebanon is the runner up shown on the right side of the photo above.

Hempfield won its second team title in three years scoring 215 points, 43 better than runner-up Northern Lebanon’s 172.

The Vikings held a one-point lead on the Black Knights after Friday’s action, but the Knights went 4-for-7 in the semis, bonusing in all four victories, and 9-and-1 cumulative in the wrestlebacks to pull away from the field.

Two of the Knights’ four finalists brought home gold as Reagan LeFevre won his third title, 10-4 over Conestoga Valley’s Keaton Fischer at 145, and Caleb Mussmon made a second-period escape stand in a 1-0 victory over Donegal’s Nicolai Brotzman at 285. It is his first L-L title and, reportedly to hear him tell it, his first tournament win since first grade.

Here are the individual weight class winners today at Manheim Township His School.
