PJW Jr High

[The Japanese Whizzer]

check out and plan to follow the 92 lb weight class. I’m sure many posters here have deep rooted interests in this tournament but this particular weight class should sprk the interest of PSU fans:

Full court Press on Hayden, he Must hit the Weights Hard too. I heard TnT have already visited

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Didn't he verbal to tOSU in 4th grade?

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Presumably Colten Shunk at 77 pounds is PSU commit Baylor's brother.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Probably a stupid question but has the PJW always allowed the possibility of two wrestlers from same school to qualify? I see Chesnut Ridge has two kids in the bracket. Been decades since I wrestled in it but I seem to recall having to wrestle off to be the representative for my school

PJW has nothing to do with schools. Most teams are club teams with a school affiliation at best. At PJW everyone competes by themselves, so a team could enter as many as they want. They need to place at a qualifying tournament, then place at their area tournament to go to the final PJW tournament. At least that is how it worked when my kids wrestled ten or so years ago. Back then We went to Shamokin to qualify for area ten, along with other possibilities, then Area ten tournament was in Williamsport area, then out to Johnstown for PJW, my son was area ten champ once. Johnstown was an experience.... as area champ they got to wear a special singlet to PJW’s.

is Hayden the oldest out of all the coaches kids?

yes. Look out for his lil bro in 6th grade too. Both very talented, but Asher has some of that Nolf fire in him.

 

[LemonPie]

Let me know if I don't have this correct, but I believe Hayden only started wrestling competitively in the last couple years and he's already jumped multiple levels in that short time. Interesting to see how good he gets by HS.

I think he’s been competing for a few years, but steering clear of the limelight. Both boys absolutely jumped levels this year though.

Where’s is Diceman’s 2027 Spreadsheet? I was looking for the Cunningham boys . Unacceptable Dice

Gotta be tough for Casey to be working today, unless he isn’t. He always sits way in the back of the bleachers when his boys compete.

 

[tpnlion]

Do Caels boys wrestle? I am pretty sure Cody’s boy did not and he is probably high school age now?

 

[nerfstate]

Cody has a son who is on the youth team, goes to M2. I don’t think he has an older sibling, but I don’t know for sure. I think maybe that Cael’s haven’t taken to the sport (yet)..

Looks like Hayden got 2nd in areas: http://wrestlereg.com/2019-PJW-JH/view_division.php

Cael has daughters, no?

Casey's son won his first round match at states.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Just talked to Casey in the hall and he said PSU only received 500 ncaa tix

Casey's son won his first round match at states.

Another kid to keep your eye on is 147 lb Grant Mackay of North Allegheny. Number 2 on Flo Junior High Big Board. Puts up lots of points and has fared well on national stage(both FS and Greco).Here is link to Track.

Strong PSU connection with his soon to be HS head coach.

(Junior High big board -- really? Wouldn't Colin Cronin be ahead of Spencer Lee there?)

Jefe do you know if the boy young Cunningham beat in the rnd of 16 today is a son of the Nasdeo that wrestled for Wpt back in early 90s?

I watched Crawfords kid at a few youth tournaments. Hes f*n to watch.

Southern has a nice contingent at PJW JH states. That pipeline is well stocked for years to come.

No idea but how many Nasdeos can there be? Gotta be related, nephew if not son, right?

Hayden Cunningham in the finals. A couple other familiar last names (Sasso, Gibson, Scheib, Harer, Lawrence, Jones, etc.) Along with an obligatory Cael.

West Branch wrestler Landon Bainey is West Branch coach Jason Bainey's son, right?

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

If only the Cael was facing Cunningham

 

[tpnlion]

Hayden loses a tough one...2-1. He pinned every guy he faced except the quarter final match which he won 6-2. Good tourney.

PS Landon Bainey lost 7-0 in finals...

Should have went to the Super Duck late, needs better coaching

And Mackay sticks Sonny Sasso in the first. Let’s hope Abe points him in the right direction. Not going full court press yet. But he has some skills and a slight mean streak.

Wexford, PA? Do you know any Wainwright's, by chance?

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

This tournament raises the tantalizing thought of a single HS championship.

Wexford, PA? Do you know any Wainwright's, by chance?

Wexford is actually a post office not a town or township. Half is NA and half is Pine Richland.

 

[WexfordWarrior]

Don't know any Wainrights. As NittFan says it is a big area which encompasses two big school districts.

You mean instead of AA & AAA??

If so, couldnt disagree more, hell, I wish they would ADD another class. PA is the HS Mecca, why would anyone want to limit guys from the postseason?

Never too early for the full court press.

Spyker is putting one on DT and Kendra now, so they'll have a kid to put one on later.

1 tournament, 1 champion per weight. I get the accomplishment of making it to states under the current format and this format won’t change. Would be just cool to see who the real king of the mountain is at each weight like the PJW tournaments.

Agreed, ALWAYS wondered who would win between AA and AAA champs

It was a Longshot anyway. Went to school with a NA girl.

Didn't they used to have an AA vs AAA match after states. I think it was highest senior placewinners. Or at least highest placewinners they could get to show up.
