2022 PA States

Don't forget who is still active as an assistant.
Don Rohn, who is one of the great coaches of all time. He walked away years ago because of the commitment it takes to be head coach. People forget his first head coaching job was not Northampton but it was Hazelton.
Princeton over Pitt in the battle for Levi Haines' weight.
Like I said, I may have the middle 2 wrong. I remember PA AAA was 1st and PA AA was 4th. That was a few years ago though.
Not possible. They're not going to run a 40-man bracket at states. And they're not going to split 20 qualifiers among 9 regionals.

One more round. 13 more matches. At around 10pm tonight. A "true first", if you will.

Cory bumped up from 172 for the postseason -- heckuva run and beat the undefeated highest returning placer in the finals

I don't disagree with you very often, but I have to here. They already run a 40 man bracket event. So the ability to do so is currently practiced annually.
The only problem is can they do so without losing attendance cash? The PIAA wrestling championships pay an awful lot of the PIAA's bills.
What I meant by a 40-man bracket is piling 40 guys into one bracket means 6 rounds of wrestling -- more for the underdeveloped HS boys than for fully developed college men.
While that does happen at Super 32, I just can't see PIAA doing that. And if they were so inclined, I'd expect major pushback from the coaches looking to protect the health of their wrestlers.
With the win, Pitzer reached 100 career falls despite missing an entire year due to injury.
Johnson falls short in his quest to become the first freshman HWT state champ.
HWT placers:
1 - Robell
2 - Johnson
3 - Emmanuel Ulrich, Mifflinburg
4 - Kade Sottolano, Williamson
5 - Leo Muzika, Faith Christian
6 - Josh Perrine, Saegertown
7 - Xavier Reyda, Corry
8 - Charles Sheppard, Hamburg

Yes but you would be including population (a lot of it) that doesn’t have serious wrestling or wrestling at all (Philly/Pittsburgh)
Go back to 2 16 man brackets and then wedge that into a single 32 man bracket. 5 rounds.
There are doable options, but as with most things PIAA related the money shall dictate.
I was disappointed in Bainey finishing 6th after being seeded 2nd at 113aa
His dad was too busy trying to get Mcort in trouble. Glad we only have to see that guy once a year.
My AA take:
It is so easy not to like the Notre dame coach, he is a clown but honestly must know how to play the game. He jumps around and acts like such a jerk
Back to back winning team title with guys from jersey.
Pitzer is on a different level and PSU could of made him into a monster. We will be average at Pitt.
District 4 wrestled amazing. Harer just wins. Seidel is going to be a monster for many years to come. He owned Gill.
Bradley’s celebration live was funny, but great to watch. Lots of work and emotion coming out
Pepe was great but the buzz was could he have beaten Gibson? Wish we could of seen that. I personally think Pepe would win but it would of been fireworks
Scottie Johnson had a great season. He is often overlooked and always gets it done.
Cheltos gets it done. Not sure why Reinsel didn’t kick forward. If Cheltos was at Easton he would not have placed four years in AAA.
Crookham-Saucon Valley to Notre Dame To Saucon Valley. Then wins his third. Damn I wish we got to watch Crookham vs Harer.
Harer just wins. His dad knows how to train wrestlers and his boys are studs. He had a lot to do with the Johnson boys too
Arrington is on a different level. He is very good. People were saying he is why Haines didn’t wrestle. First off Levi is way bigger but trust me he wasn’t worried about Arrington either. People find any reason to talk smack. Sickening really
Garcia with 9 losses gets it done. MacKay transferred to AA because they said it was easier. Well it’s not that easy, especially with the Green Ponders bring in hammers from NJ. Ask Little Gibson.
Rune is very good and I would of liked to see Levi wrestle here. It would of been hyped up. Haines would of won by MD. But nothing from Rune, he is good. Reminds me of Nickel.
Pitzer needs to forget about Pitt and come to PSU.
Riley Robell was too big and athletic, ending Little Johnson’s magical run. Johnson bumped from Pitzer and ran smack into another buzzsaw.
last little tidbit: this is eye catching.
2021 PIAA state Qualifiers
Wrestlers who transferred, moved, relocated to their school they compete for in HS. This was their Middle School district to their new Highschool district. This is eye opening and just quickly going over the brackets
It’s very interesting there are many wrestlers who switched schools and often times it to the better programs.

Who said this?
And do you really, seriously, think Pepe beats Gibson even if he grew to Gibson's weight?
PS, you track transfers? Great God, I thought I spent too much time on this.

His Dad is best of friends with Quinton Wright. Hope you don't have a problem with him. McCort dug their own grave.
The other thing that's impressive about it -- everybody knows PItzer is gonna cradle them, and yet this year only TJ Stewart was able to stay out of it.
At least Morrison kept his head away from the single and avoided the near-side cradle.
It's been so nice to have 6 pages of HS wrestling without debating or bitching about HS recruiting and transfers.
Let's not ruin it now.
This may have also been a Reverse Snyder situation -- in that it's well known he wanted to go HWT, but his best shot at PSU is 197. (Though he may have outgrown 197 by now.)
