Crossface Wrestling has existed for over 13 years and has grown into an informative site which started by focusing on Northwestern Pennsylvania Wrestling with the help of many. Crossface Wrestling started as simply a collection of favorite wrestling sites into a network of informative sites maintained with the help of other wrestling fanatics.

We will continue to do keep all wrestling news current and updated daily on a National, State, and NW Regional level. "Focus on the Wrestler" interviews which may be inspirational to the next generation of wrestlers, and give the wrestling fans current news on high school and college wrestling at a national , state and regional level.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the comment on my team last season. Your website is excellent it is a valuable guide for any coach, wrestler or wrestling fan. It promotes the sport of wrestling in Central Pennsylvania and gives young athletes exposure across the state and country, that they would only normally get in the local newspaper. Keep up the good work on your site and hopefully Altoona can continue to build our wrestling program.
Thanks,
Coach Joel Gilbert

Hey Ron,
First, let me say that I have wanted to run into you for a while now. I just wanted to tell you that you really do a great job with your website and you really do get these kids a lot of exposure. I appreciate everything you do and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I have always tried to refrain from the forums and look for websites that have links and useful information for Dirk’s benefit. I always like to know how kids are doing and who Dirk might be up against. Researching this stuff has been much easier due to the fact that you have links on your site that have helped me get the information I was looking for. You have always had nothing but good to say about Dirk and I also appreciate that. As you know, when you start competing at the level that he has competed at, you don’t always find positive people who like to compliment your son very much. He is fortunate to have a supporter like you. You do a great job!!!! Keep up the good work!!!! By the way, Dirk would love to do the interview. Let me know what information you need or if you want him to contact you.
Thanks again Ron,
Dan Cowburn

Ron,
Jon-Marc is at church I will show him your email when he gets to the office, but I wanted to personally Thank You for your coverage and website updates, 20 years ago the good wrestlers had to tell someone how they did, which probably sounded like bragging, now you do it for them and it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again Ron, like I said before Thanks to you many boys stick it out and keep driving, and many parents should also be aware that I believe that you are solely responsible for many scholarships for D9 wrestlers, without your website and your promotion of their accomplishents , many of the kids may not have been seen or recognized by colleges in other parts of the state or country !
Hope to see ya soon....Perry
