District 3 Wrestling: Coaches earn honors

Boiling Springs coach Rodney Wright has been named the District 3 Class AA Coach of the Year.

Wright guided the Bubblers to an 11-2 record and the Mid-Penn Capital Division championship. The Bubblers were seeded fourth for the 3-AA Team Championships and ended up winning the title. Boiling Springs avenged regular-season losses to Bermudian Springs and Biglerville in the semifinals and finals, respectively.

The Bubblers went 2-2 at the PIAA Team Championships with wins over Muncy and perennial state power Reynolds.

Cumberland Valley head coach Daved Heckard was inducted into the District 3 Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

Heckard graduated from CV in 1996 and from Villanova University in 2000. Heckard, who won the 1996 189-pound Class AAA state title, also earned a masters degree in Education Administration from Penn State University.

Heckard was inducted as both a wrestler and coach.
