In this episode, we have a pair of Springfield heavyweight alumni from two different generations of the Pride’s storied program, and they just so happened to be brothers!
Ron '11 and Joe '20 Fusco have etched their legacy on Alden Street with not only their dominance on the mat, but with their larger than life personalities that captures the attention and respect of their peers.
Ron Fusco currently serves as the Assistant Principal at Peter Reilly Elementary in Lowell, Massachusetts. In 2011, Ron led Springfield to a New England Wrestling Association Team Championship after winning gold at Heavyweight and qualifying for NCAAs under Hall of Fame Coach, Daryl Arroyo.
Nearly a decade later, younger brother, Joe Fusco followed in Ron’s footsteps and created a name for himself under the Holder era by eclipsing two berths to the NCAA Championships, and becoming the first four-time NWCA Scholar All-American in program history. Since August, Joe has been an officer in the Nashua Police Department in Nashua, New Hampshire.
