Gavin Teasdale CDT article
- Thread starter 86PSUPaul
- Start date
Are people now discounting Chance Marsteller's high school career since he has not had the college career everyone expected? He's not even mentioned in that article and they are talking about Gavin being ranked #3 all-time as far as best high school wrestlers in PA go as if there isn't really anybody else to talk about.
Before Spencer Lee, Chance Marsteller was considered 1B next to Kolat in Pennsylvania legend. Let's not forget, Chance beat two returning state champs in the state finals two of his four years, in addition to winning as a freshman at a weight that is typically loaded with upperclassmen.

Didnt he also go up (or down) a weight his senior season to make sure he got the toughest potential finals matchup? I seem to recall something like this.
Is there any familial connection between Cary Kolat and Gavin Teasdale?
Fairly amazing that 2 of the top 5(?) all-time PA wrestlers come from the same small, rural school, Jefferson-Morgan.
I'm not sure, but his junior year he wrestled Brian Brill in the finals, and Brill was an undefeated returning state champ. I think Brill was also undefeated the year before, too. He couldn't even score on Marsteller. He majored Brill badly. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.
Other notable wins by Chance:
Cody Weirchoch - 3X PIAA state champ (also a runner-up)
Zach Zavatsky (semi-finals at PIAA tournament Chance's senior year) - He would win the state title the following year.
Chance beat a number of PIAA state champs, and most of them badly.
Chance is still 1B right there with Kolat. It was a glaring omission from the article to not mention Chance's high school career.
If Brody became the second coming of Bill Koll Iowa folks would not deal well that....and Bill Koll and Brody Teske also come from a small school...in Iowa...
Yup. I couldn't remember if Brill had gotten a TD or not, but he did. Brian Brill was one heck of a HS wrestler and that match was the one everyone was waiting for at the tournament with both being returning champs.
I know Ken Wunderly, he is a great writer who is passionate about this sport. Ken has watched more high school wrestling than most human being and would never slight anyone. I'm sure if you would sit down with him for a conversation, Chance would be in the discussion. However, opinions are also subjective.

As someone who watched Kolat, he is Number 1, with no 1a around him.
Roar, you are correct. I had to check one of his books he puts out yearly on WPIAL stats by wrestler and team. This error supports why I never try out for Wheel of Fortune.
None the less, I know Ken. Thanks for the correction.

The organization I'm involved with participated in honoring Ken when he was inducted into the PA Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame last year.
I know he was inducted into a HOF recently but was not sure which group did the honor. A good selection.
