A special shoutout goes to our own Duals on Desmond committee member, Carsen Williams, as he makes his debut as Little Shrek! Also staring is former DD Youth Alumni Luke Behm. We couldn’t be more proud of them and the entire cast and crew.

Duals on Desmond Family — Help is Needed
For the past three years, many of you have watched Brenda Banks compete at Duals on Desmond. You've seen her determination, toughness, and commitment to the sport. Now, this outstanding young athlete needs our support.
Brenda's wrestling journey began just four years ago when she stepped onto the mat for the first time at Panther Valley High School. Since then, she has accomplished what few could have imagined:
🏆 #2 Ranked 235 lb Wrestler in the Nation
🏆 4-Time Pennsylvania State Champion
🏆 110-2 High School Record
🏆 Pennsylvania National Team Gold Medalist
🏆 Defeated the current #1-ranked wrestler in her weight class
Brenda has also excelled at the prestigious USMC National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, placing 4th as a freshman, 1st as a sophomore, and 3rd as a junior.
Now, as a senior, she is preparing for her final opportunity to compete on the national stage at Fargo from July 10–18. Unfortunately, unexpected sponsor funding has fallen through, putting her trip in jeopardy.
Brenda needs to raise $1,500 to cover travel, lodging, meals, and registration expenses.
At Duals on Desmond, we believe in supporting the athletes who inspire our wrestling community. Brenda has earned this opportunity through years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Let's come together and help her finish her high school career where she belongs—competing against the nation's best.
If you'd like to help, please reach out directly. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. If you're unable to donate, please share this post and help us spread the word.
Let's show Brenda the strength of the wrestling community and help get her to Fargo.

If you are willing to make a monetary donation, please message us

Her hard work, determination, and dedication to the sport have earned her the opportunity to compete at the next level, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds.

Adding to an already special journey, Lillian will be joining her sister, Marissa Rumsey, a 2-time PA Coach at Duals on Desmond, continuing a proud family tradition at Lock Haven.

Please join us in congratulating Jordan Brown of Sayre, PA on his commitment to continue his academic and wrestling career at Mercyhurst University!

Jordan is a 3-time Duals on Desmond alum, a PA Youth Coach, and one of the many success stories our event is proud to celebrate. His work ethic, leadership, and commitment to the sport have made a lasting impact both on and off the mat.

Mercyhurst is getting an outstanding student-athlete, and we couldn’t be more excited for his future.

But first… one more year.

Jordan returns for his senior season with unfinished business and his sights set on standing atop the podium in Hershey.

INJURY UPDATE – CADENCE GUY

We’ve received a lot of messages and questions regarding Cadence following her match on Saturday at Duals on Desmond, and we wanted to share an update.

The good news is that nothing is broken. After further evaluation, it appears the injury involved a elbow dislocation, and Cadence will be undergoing an MRI and follow-up appointments with a shoulder/elbow specialist to determine the full extent of the injury and the best path forward.

Cadence and her family are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the wrestling community. Your prayers, messages, and well wishes have meant a great deal during a stressful few days.

They would also like to extend a special thank you to Malaina Comfort. "Malaina was a tough, talented competitor who came ready to wrestle, and this unfortunate injury was simply part of the sport we all love. We appreciate the sportsmanship, concern, and respect shown throughout the situation."

Who knows… maybe we'll get to see a rematch next year. 👀🤼‍♀️

Please continue to keep Cadence in your thoughts as she begins the recovery process. We are wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back on the mat soon.
