PA States brackets and worthless predictions
- Thread starter El-Jefe
- Start date
Steen and the kid from Glendale (I struggle remembering names on occasion - damn mat returns), were in terrific semi-final matches yesterday. Seems Pitt is heading in the right direction. I have a hard time mustering the hatred for the wrestling team as I have for the rest of them.
My hatred of Pitt stemmed from when Tony Dorsett played for them and when they beat Penn State. It was also easy to hate Dorsett when he went on to play for the cowboys. Time seems to have mellowed me out and just don’t hate or dislike anyone now as it takes too much energy. I even look back now and can appreciate how good that Pitt team was with Dorsett. Back to topic think the Pitt wrestling team is really making some good moves and what the hell really nice to see the PA guys have more options in state
Yea, but Karam has managed to steal the show yet again. I think Kasak wins 106, perhaps Hermann and Handlovic too
Ungar got jobbed, Steen was on his back for a count that got waved off.
That didn't stand out to me, but there are multiple explanations. 1) It's tough to follow everything with 4 mats. 2) I'm from West-Central PA, and isn't Ungar essentially a Jersey Kid. I'll rewatch
Great match either way.
I was listening to match on phone. District 7 announcers and they were shocked that the 2 was waved off. The announcer even said
" I saw the ref swipe twice"
Very similar to Berwick back in the day. They don't encourage their best to come to psu and the proof is in the pudding
Crookham update. As I mentioned before I know someone connected to Notre Dame GP program. I commented earlier that I think Lehigh will make big play for the kid.
I asked my source who has been most active on recruiting Ryan
Answer: Oklahoma State.
That's not the first time the Pokes have come to District 11. A few years ago they landed Oliver and Kindig.

Like Crookham but I think Bouzakis is better imo. Not sure where we stand with him bit he does go to SEM which cant hurt.
Cornell is after Bouzakis.
They're actually a NY family. Seminary proximity won't help us at all. If we're pursuing him.
I picked those 3 and was wrong about the first (and counting). Kasak lost in the semis.
Aiden Lewis on the the 113 finals with a 5-3 win. Will face Berginc in the finals. Berginc came out of nowhere after winning a pigtail.
Remember a couple of years ago when drunken Dorsett was howling and yapping in the tunnel after the game while the media was trying to interview our players? Mind you, we're talking about a 65-year-old man here. Not exactly dignified.

Kibe dec Brinsky 5-1 in consi semis, will face NC State commit Reinert for 3rd.
Not to be snarky, but Scott has already failed to pin his way through this bracket. I reiterate, if Scott can't get a headlock on Cam Robinson, he will have a more difficult match. Robinson is an Iowa State recruit. If you didn't notice, he decked McClorin of Cathedral Prep in :36 seconds in the semi's. And that was after his 2nd takedown.
You've been out of the loop for a full year.
IIRC it's a 3 yr contract, so we'll have to deal with Flo next year as well.
RE: the bolded phrase .... Correct.
That sucks. Thanks for the info, though.
What really grates is that last year's finals aren't on YouTube for free by now.
If I hit the lottery my gift to the wrestling community will be to buy the rights to piaas and have PCN put them on.
I’m not defending the call, but the ref also said that Steen’s shoulders were greater than 45 degrees off the mat during the second swipe, thus it didn’t count.
If I'm PA Power, I'm putting together a proposal to stream the entire tourney on Rokfin -- with the finals free.
Win-win -- free finals like before, and access to the entire tourney (which PCN didn't do).
Contingent on PIAA denying press credentials to Flo.
Also Willie gets his own suite with a fridge full of beer.
District 7 with 11 finalists, not bad. I'm happy for the Stout family, great people and Luke heading off to Princeton shows the balance.
Cerniglia held on to beat Lawrence 11-8. Got dominated in the last 2 periods and was fortunate to have a late 2nd period Lawrence takedown waved off.
From a guy with no dog in that hunt:

Swisher with nice work on the backside, will wrestle for 3rd.
At least 2 big calls went against Lawrence:
Gave up a penalty point for an illegal hold -- it was a bottom leg turk
Also had a near side cradle locked up that got whistled dead as a stalemate, no takedown.
