Last Thursday, I drove over to Spring Grove, photographed Spring Grove’s wrestling bouts for about 30 minutes, drove back to York to cover another assignment and then returned to Spring Grove to cover the team in its second match of the night in the District 3-AAA quarterfinals.

This was the same team in the same gym that I covered a few weeks ago, and I was glad I returned later in the evening for the quarterfinals — because that’s when they turned out all the lights.
