I'm hoping some of the kids from pa that don't make the lineup transfer to lock haven. Would be nice to see them relevant again
As a kid from Lock Haven, I approve of this advertisement.
I live in Mill Hall and need an excuse to go watch lhu wrestling hope they keep getting better
only for going to Coach Bubb's wrestling camp as a youngster, I hope Clarion becomes more relevant
Is that in East Halls?
I was kinda hoping they'd also transfer to Bloomsburg, Clarion, Edinboro, F&M, Bucknell, Drexel, Penn, and Pitt as well as Lock Haven. But, DBall probably had a blast. He has four rings, a best friend named Aaron, got to wrestle in a bunch of matches, and got to go to Paris as AB's training partner. Not a bad gig.
from lockport or what was lockport before they tore it down for the dike. old homestead now torn down, but many great memories of lhhs
Pitt has easy access to 2 of the 3 biggest regional talent pools in the country, Pittsburgh and Cleveland. And they're in-state to the other (Lehigh Valley).
I have my Wade Schalles poster hanging in my weight room. Purchased at a Clarion wrestling camp in 1980.
Really, PSU could commandeer PSU-Altoona's team and move them up from D3 to D1 for wrestling to be a JV team of sorts. It's the same university, so the kids wouldn't even have to worry about transferring credits or anything, and it's close enough that they could all train together at the main campus.
Seeing that town name takes me back to Rec Hall hearing Dean Devore say, "From Mill Hall Pennsylvania, Biff Waaalizer"
it appears Pitt is not big on wrestling which makes no sense!the papers follow high schools more than Pitt!
Pitt is where we were before Cael, and where anOSU was before Ryan -- a school that thought it was competing but really had no idea what that meant, and therefore was ignorant of their complacency.
And we were happy with that -- even though none of those teams were within reach of the title.
Yes to F&M, Bloomsburg, Edinboro, Penn, Lehigh, Drexel, Bucknell, Lock Haven and Clarion.
I am certainly not a Pitt fan but as I have posted in a different thread, with a granddaughter getting ready to enter Pitt's nursing program I have been making efforts to show more Pitt support.
My first exposure to college wrestling was watching Penn State/Lehigh on Channel 33 in Hershey in the very early 1970s. Then when I went to college, I watched Lehigh matches on Channel 39. So I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Engineers/Mountain Hawks. It didn't hurt that the late 70s was one of the best periods for their wrestling program. So I'd go PSU, Lehigh, Pitt, Penn for my favorite 4.
I have the same soft spot. Through the late 60s and early 70s I got to see most of the Lehigh PSU matches. Showing up as a kid with a Lehigh national champ got you escorted through all the backdoors into reserved seats. However, the current Lehigh style - occasionally attack while always backing up is extremely boring to watch.
Here is an article on the "hookers" story. I had forgotten about this one.

I can root for Pitt when they play Notre Dame. However, it is a weird experience. If Pitt beats Notre Dame I feel good, but disappointed. If Notre Dame beats Pitt I feel bad but with a sense of satisfaction.
This was only part of the story -- though I was unaware of Peters' discrimination suit and Pitt's counter suit. Thanks for posting. Such a shame it went down that road.Here is an article on the "hookers" story. I had forgotten about this one.
Pitt sues former wrestling coach, claims he manufactured discrimination lawsuit
A former University of Pittsburgh wrestling coach who lost his racial discrimination lawsuit against the school is now being sued by the university, which is seeking to recoup attorneys’ fees and other damages allegedly caused by the “frivolous” claims. Jason Peters served as the university’s...
