The Purple Eagles Wrestling Academy had wrestlers attend three different tournaments this weekend.

“While their place finishes are remarkable, what is even better is that they have athletes that represent different communities in the area: Albion, Medina, Lyndonville, and Holley. They also had athletes from Cal-Mum and Brockport representing the program this weekend,” said Academy organizer Mike Sanders.
