Herrera beat McHenry 2-1. Escaped in the first rideout and then held McHenry down.
It will be on PCN next weekend. They always show it one week later.
ah yes, now I remember that. Perhaps the tweet did indicate that as well. I was watching football, dealing with issues on BWI boards, and posting, and may not have looked closely at the date it would be televised.
In my defense, I went back and looked at the Cedar Cliff wrestling tweet. It was posted this afternoon, and sure does seem to indicate that the broadcast would be on PCN tonight.
This is high school, wasn’t aware of redshirt possibilities.
Wow. He would fit perfect with a red shirt year. Agree full court press.

Sounds painful, is there an ointment to help with that?
You must not follow the HS scene closely then.This is high school, wasn’t aware of redshirt possibilities.
It may be more common than in college nowadays.
Starocci wins 5-2 on two 3rd period takedowns and rhings got chippy at the end.
Those two have a lot of history, been watching them bang heads since junior high. I’ve never seen Starocci lose to him though.
We joke, but he’s taken down some monsters this month. Nice to have him in Penn State’s Back 40 acres so to speak.
Yep -- Tan Tom's Decatur and Blair's Miller at Ironman, #6 Rundell and McHenry at Powerade. Plus a couple good PA kids (Mendez and Delaney) in winning King of the Mountain. Only loss this year by 1 pt in Ironman finals to Richie Figs.
He's a total leech on top. If there's a criticism -- he gets into a lot of low-scoring matches, kinda like Phillippi in HS, so good on top that he doesn't attack much on feet. Hopefully that's just a matter of a sophomore gaining strength and confidence as he matures.
EDIT: missed this -- he went up a weight and beat PA 3rd placer Burkholder in the dual too.

Post-tourney interview with Herrera:
He has the PSU attitude already. Drops the f** bomb at 1:45. Not worried about losing matches, he's still learning. Moved up this year, glad he doesn't have to think about cutting weight. Etc. Yes, he just beat McHenry, but he comes across as happy all the time and someone who doesn't get caught up in the moment.
He's a pretty small dude, and 125s are hard to find ... just sayin'.

he certainly bears watching. He's a 10th grader, wrestling 113. Only a combo of genetics and time will tell whether or not he'll be a college 125 lber.
His opponent in the final (Kurt McHenry) is a senior wrestling at 113. With him, the question has always been whether he'll be big enough to compete at 125 lbs. in college.
Right every one should drive in Ninth grade.This is high school, wasn’t aware of redshirt possibilities.
I seriously doubt that Cael or any other college coach is aware of a long, lean potential 125lb lifer with skill and attitude. Why would they? I am certain he is a hidden talent......nobody watches FLO...right?
