Midlands/Soldier Salute

The story wasn’t the 11 point win or running out of gas; it was him saying “I’m done” after the match.
 
That was apparent based on your other two comments on the subject within the past hour.

The area was considered the "sticks" when I was young. We would walk through the woods to go to Southland.
My mother was raised until HS in two of the coal miner "patches" not far from South Park.
Serra, actually, my older sisters and younger brother went to TJ, brother coached Pleasant Hills middle school
Damn I'm good. Touched on all three.

A classmate and neighbor of mine went to Serra recruited for basketball, about the time of the WM area merger.

Nice to make your better acquaintance. I thought SC was South Carolina, but I guess it could be Serra Catholic.

It's South Carolina, been here almost 30 years now. Where are you now? Did your mother go to Snowden? Spent plenty of time on the back roads between South Park, Gill Hall, Peters Creek, Finleyville. Knew the Large "patch" the best. Spent plenty a night at the Large Hotel.
 
You all make me think I should like / root for Pitt. But I’m still pissed at them over not helping create an Eastern All-Sports conference and then joining the Big East that subsequently denied our petition to join. It’s only been 30-some years.

Cheers from South Park! How did Heller and Pitzer win?

My mother went to live with her Aunt in D.C. for HS. I don't know where she would've gone, but I'll ask my Aunt and see where she went.

One of their patches was the one up on the hill not far from the Large Hotel, which burned down some years ago. My brother had worked at the former Westinghouse plant in Large, which is pretty much across Rte 51 from where the Large Hotel stood. The other patch was the one off Horning Road in South Park.

I've driven most of those backroads. Things are a little different since the Mon Valley Expressway went in.

Coincidentally, my brother lives on Snowden Road. I live in Central MD now, about an hour NW of Baltimore. My friends refer to my woods as being in the middle of nowhere.

that's probably just spencer. he's emotional after tough matches. told brands he was quitting after picc pinned him. word is he's currently warming up for his finals match against ayala.

Cheers. Your HS coach, Dan Pineri, went to West Mifflin North, and graduated with one of my brothers.

Pitzer won by a last second Hilger defensive pin. Hilger was trying to rideout Pitzer in the 3rd after being ridden out in the 2nd. Hilger was leading 2-1 after the 1st.

Didn't see either Heller final match.

That's exactly why JoePa never cared about scheduling Pitt. The fans wanted it to happen but JoePa was still ticked about them going to the Big East conference. I hold that grudge too.
 
Can someone with a BTN+ wrestling subscription post PBP of Spencer-Ayala? (I have a PSU subscription only.)
 
I mean you can defend it if people try to criticize the performance lol. He’s obviously still recovering from his double acl surgery in terms of conditioning and rust and he’s got people writing paragraphs due to him only majoring the kid. And the Junior World champ reference is relevant in pointing out that he’s not some scrub who’s just going to roll over.
Dude was 9-5 with his best win coming against a backup from Oklahoma State. Said.
 
Ayala is really, really good. I won’t doubt Spencer any more for this year.
 
Takedown, four point turn, then fall, 1:23. Looked like he stared Ayala down after decking him and said something to the effect of “he wanted it”.

sounds like ayala wanted the match so spencer obliged. ayala was reading too much @johnstownsteel

summary: snap and spin takedown off the whistle. head lever to his roll through tilt for 4. restart. spencer working inside wrist. ayala turning hard into it, so spencer just sneaks his arm through quick and scoops the head for the pin. ragdolled. epitome of a big brother match
