NORTH TONAWANDA - Time for the Falcons to fly.

That's how you could describe the feeling around Niagara Wheatfield wrestling as they progressed through the brackets at the Section VI Division I state qualifier Saturday at North Tonawanda High School.

After fighting through challenging tournaments all season - including an at-large bid that ended in an early exit at the NYSPHSAA State Duals last month - the Falcons are sending seven wrestlers to the state championships Feb. 24-25 inside the MVP Arena in Albany.
