One could look at District 1. D4 wrestlers currently have won 49% of their matches. D1 wrestlers have won 74% of their matches. Thank goodness for FCA.
 
When one looks at the current team leaderboard for both AAA and AA, one striking fact emerges. AAA: 4 of the top 6 teams are within 25 miles of each other: BECA, Naz, Easton, Qtown.
AA: 3 of the top 4 teams are within 25 miles of each other: FCA, NDGP, Saucon Valley.
I see a pattern developing. You could draw a circle around those 7 teams listed above and make a heck of a wrestling league with very little travel.
 
Wagner over Willochell with a questionable TD in the last 10 seconds. The scramble position the wrestlers were in didn't vary that much in the last 20 secs or so, but somewhere in there the ref awarded 2 to Wagner.

Big tournament so far for State College.

Both the Cunningham boys (Hayden at 127 and Asher at 145) into the Semifinals along with Manville at 139, and Pavlechko at 285 still to wrestle. 2nd as a team currently.
Were the Cunningham boys favored to make the semis?

no TD Will still had his leg
 
To answer the Cyrus question: he was a NY kid at one point in his wrestling career, but I’m pretty sure it was back when he was in elementary school. I coached against him at a tournament near Erie and my guy was wrestling 11/12. He was at General McLane at one point, then ended up heading to Prep until this year. Last I knew (it’s been a couple of years), he split his time between Ragin’ Raisins and Bad Karma. He and Steffan Lynch (also a Prep transfer/North East native) wound up at North East this year because supposedly Prep increased their tuition costs.

In regards to the Port Allegheny heavy Carson Neely: the kid has been on fire this year. I’m not certain, but he may be related to Trent Neely of Smethport who was a 3x AA State Qualifier. Smethport doesn’t have a varsity program anymore and they co-op with Port Allegheny

Now use the same center and draw a second circle 100 miles in all directions and you now have all the hometowns of the wrestlers in these schools!
 
Kilkeary's tourney just got easier -- Binni beat Parkins. Parkins pinned Jacaruso this year. Bottom half finalist guaranteed to be a regional runner-up.
Yeah I thought Parkins would be his toughest test but he really hasn’t made the jump I thought he would since Beast of the East last year.

Still big flashes, consistency not yet matching.

Parkins and Sement both losing early ... Kilkeary be like

So glad to see State High doing really well. I wrestled for them Jr High under coach Groves in the 80's. Moved to FL senior year and wrestled.

I knew Nick Pavletchko's (sp) dad and uncle back in the day. Played football for grandpa Ron. Still my fav coach.
