“2024 U20 65kg Pan Am Champion. What an amazing week in Lima, Peru. The goal is & always will be the same! My next focus is to dominate the world with pace & pressure. It’s World Championships Season. 🌍🇺🇸✝️.”

“Bishop McCort Catholic High School welcomes Bill Bassett as Head Wrestling Coach! Mr. Bassett brings with him a wealth of knowledge, experience, and energy to Crusher Wrestling..“
On the other hand, Bo’s mom, Karissa, is a registered nurse at the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center.
She works with a group of medical professionals who treat breast cancer and often has a busy schedule. But despite that, she makes time for her children to assist them better in their lives.
