PIAA 2023 postseason
- Thread starter El-Jefe
- Start date
Faith Christian is so far 6 for 6 in the medal round.
Team-wide winning the last match of the year, regardless of which medal it's for, is a sign of really good coaching.
Faith Christian Academy has already exceeded the AA team scoring record, with several wrestlers to go.
And just won another medal round bout. 7 for 7 so far.

Not sure I would include 125 as a weight where the room has an abundance.
^^ Call not seen often enough for Iowa to win national titles.
Adam Waters - what a man! He gives up the takedown in the 1st, turns around and throws a headlock and decks Garcia in the 1st period.
Smethport was tough ln the late 80's & early 90's. Took me some time to figure out what a Hubber was. Statically Smethport is the coldest town in PA.
For all we talk about a lot of young kids on here I don’t hear much at all about Waters but he seems at least results wise to be one of the very best. Guys that know more about PA wrestling can you give me a rundown? Dominating like he has especially at an upper weight as a freshman is super rare and very impressive
Hey. I grew up in Coudy. My Dad still lives there. They have a Sheetz and McDonald's now.
Mom works there. Would imagine PSU pays little to nothing there
Last year he went 19-0 and won PJWs -- at 187 lb. Fargo 16U double medalist at 182 -- freestyle 3rd, Greco 2nd.
Interesting that he's down 10 lb for his freshman year.
Waters' only loss this year was at Beast of the East, in OT to Stanford commit Abe Wojcikiewicz -- and he avenged that loss in consis.
Yes, massive prospect.
Heads up, I'll likely have to catch up with the AAA medal round after the fact ... family stuff. Don't worry about spoilers, I'm not Ranger Dan.
Why is this worth a mention?
Justin Owens, who went on to wrestle at Lock Haven, and Jared Ricotta. Not sure if he wrestled after high school.
Watching 3A States, and you always like to see Tom Elling matside. An outstanding individual and fantastic wrestling historian.
Nothing guaranteed but he will compete for the spot. My guess is he’s not gonna get a ton bigger so putting on some mass will be critical.
I wasn't sure if Owen's won one or not. Jared wrestled for Duquesne until they dropped the sport. I can not believe I forgot him. I damn near got into a physical argument at states after he got the pin in the finals. Somebody was crying because of how fast they called that a pin. I answered he had him stacked so phucking high on his neck the people sitting in the top rows could tell he was pinned. I may have said it with a smidgen of attitude.
Helluva nice kid.
I think A lot of these college 125’s are cutting a bunch of weight. I bet most walk around 20+ lbs heavy during the offseason. When I saw medley from Michigan in the BJC dual this year he looked huge compared to Steen.
Rath vs Manville was a really good match. Td at the end of the 2nd was the difference. Manville was super gracious in defeat. Seems like a great kid
Definitely, one of the things that I like about wrestling—respect for one another.
Rath needs to bump up his scholastic credits and get to college. He is that good.
Is Rath worth the Press of the Full Court variety?
I wasn’t going going to say it, CT, but, well, …
