Sleeping in on my day off is more like it!
Seriously, a few more results of note, emphasis on PA kids with a few out-of-staters:
106:
- Julian Chlebove into the semis with 2 TFs, a pin, and a 10-0 MD. I presume he's Whitey's kid.
- #7 seed Aaron Burkett (Chestnut Ridge, AA runner-up) went 3-2, DNP. He was eliminated 11-0 by an unseeded kid from KY a couple rounds before placing. This really surprised me, because he wrestled well at states and especially against Gavin Teasdale in the finals.
113:
- #5 Brian Courtney (Athens, 120 AA runner-up) into the semis with a TF, a pin, and a 4-2 win over the #4 seed.
- Gage Curry (North Hills, AAA runner-up to Devin Brown) lost in the semis. He is now in the Round of 12.
120:
- #1 Yianni Diakomihalis (Cornell recruit) blowing thru the bracket with 2 pins and a 15-1 MD. Once he gets to Ithaca, he'll be winning 3-2 in no time.
- Sasso lost to Lamont 8-5 in the quarters, is in the Round of 12.
Something wrong with Flo brackets at 126 and 132 ...
138:
- #1 Sam Krivus (Hempfield AAA champ, UNC recruit) into the semis.
- #6 Kent Lane (Southern Columbia AA champ, Lehigh recruit) lost in the quarters to the #3 seed from MO, in the Round of 12.
- #7 Shae Bloom (Curwensville, AA 5th) lost in the quarters to the #2 seed from OH, also in the Round of 12.
145:
- #1 Hayden Hidlay (Mifflin County, AAA 3rd to Kemerer and Duggan, NC State 2016 recruit) into the semis with 2 pins and a 3-2 win in the quarters.
- Jimmy Saylor (Easton, AAA 7th) lost in the quarters to #3 Austin Kraisser, Campbell recruit from MD. He's in the Round of 12 and thus 1 win away from remaining Willie's cousin (ha ha). Next match Jonathan Ross from Northern York, who finished 5th at Hershey.
152:
- The Anvil won 4-0 in the quarters. Next victim: #4 Connor Flynn from MO, who beat in the quarters ...
- #5 Kaleb Young (2016 Iowa recruit from Punxsy, AAA runner-up to Cenzo), who's in the Round of 12.
- Nino Bonaccorsi (brother of Pitt's 197) is also R12 after losing to Flynn one round ahead of Young.
- #2 Jake Wentzel (South Park, AA champ, Pitt 2016 recruit) into the semis.
160:
- #8 Noah Stewart (Mifflin County, AAA 4th) lost his 2nd match but has advanced to R12.
- #3 Cole Walter (Mifflinburg, AA champ, Lehigh recruit) into the semis with an 8-0 win over the #6 seed. His next opponent, the #2 seed from MI, has pinned every opponent in the 1st so far.
170:
- #1 Nick Reenan (Wyoming Seminary via TX) into the semis. I think he's headed to Northwestern.
- #5 Austin Bell (Belle Vernon, AAA 3rd) into the semis, gets Reenan next.
- Kyle Gentile (Pennridge, AAA 5th) into the semis after beating Jake Shaffer (Latrobe, AAA 4th) in the quarters.
- Shaffer is now R12.
- #5 Trevor Cahill (Berlin, AA 3rd) went 1-2, DNP.
- #6 Nick Stephani (Troy, AA 2nd) lost his 2nd match in SV, has since been on a rampage and is R12.
- Jared Siegrist (Manheim Central, AAA 6th) lost his 2nd match to the #2 seed, then lost in consis and DNP. Siegrist is coached by Troy Sunderland.
182:
- #2 Dakota Geer (Franklin) and #3 Corey Hazel (Penns Valley, Lock Haven commit) meet in the semis. Geer beat Franklin 10-3 in the AA state finals. Geer has 2 TFs so far; Hazel a pin and a 4-3 decision.
195: No PA wrestlers of note. Seeds held thru the quarters. The only name I recognize is #2 seed Tyree Sutton from NJ.
220:
- #5 Jake Robb (Kittanning, AA finalist) has reached the semis, gets the #1 seed.
- #6 Andrew Gunning (Bethlehem Liberty, AAA 5th) lost in the quarters to the #3 seed.
- #7 Cole Nye (Wyoming Seminary) lost in the quarters to the #2 seed. Nye previously attended Bishop McDevitt.
285:
- #3 Jake Beistel (AA runner-up to Allan Beattie) into the semis with 2 pins.
- This is a really bad weight class. The #7 seed finished 6th at regionals (though he did finish 5th at states).
