Pin Head

7th, 8th & 7th previously not really eye opening. This year really broke through, went to regionals and handled 4 WPIAL guys and shined at states. My comments were not a knock , 100% complimentary.

139: Wenner Clarion v. #3 Dekraker Minnesota Wenner a tough late bloomer with limited small school coaching, could be a future portal catch

To a sophomore from DuBois TB2

Interesting take, so this will guarantee they keep Iowa on the schedule.

My first thought after his match. He needs a change of culture and coaching. He is too good to be constantly trying for a coin flip decision in tie breakers.

I am from the 70's Mousetis, Lamprinakos, Siar and DeAugustino, looking back it was an impressive time in the WPIAL

Wash High, guess you are old too !

With Bouzakis and Cannon questionable, what if they start with Kilkeary / McCrone and bump Davino, Mendez and Stiles ? If it goes chalk they will lose , I would love to see them take the first five and win with Feldman. Long shot but Mendez vs. Van Ness would be worth the price of a ticket.

Agree - Ferrari has the potential to be a four time #1. But sitting back and hoping to win with an overtime take down will come back to bite him.

Be vigilant about any drastic weight loss attempts. Attended my 50-year high school reunion. The lightweight guys that had plastic suits, spit cups and starvation diets all look horrible. They look twenty years older than they are, bent over, joint pain etc. beyond a typical 68 year old. Let your son eat, grow and burn energy. When needed, 3-5 pounds over time can be accomplished safely. He has a long life ahead of him, good luck. Just an old fart observation.

Jerry White - 177# - Penn State 1976 He was 3rd @ 177 in 1977, I was one of his 23 career pins.

They have until the 15th to reply yes or no. Seems like a lot of external pressure for a yes. The field will be top heavy with Big Ten teams. Is there latitude in the Big Ten schedule to skip a team they may meet in the duals? Some match ups like Mesenbrink vs. Caliendo four times in one year is a bit much. They could also send their B-Team/Redshirt roster to the duals, a formidable squad, and what if they win?

Curious as to why the current name doesn't work for you. Third version now of the event title in 51 years.

Penn State has 19 branch campus locations. They are looking into closing up to 12 of them. Enrollment is down everywhere.

Curious to see the range of schools that had AA's the past few years. This year had nineteen with one AA, fourteen with 2 or 3 and the big four with 29 combined. This should be a litmus for concentration of talent ?

Locked hands seem to be getting more looks too

Is the ref obligated to stop the match when the brick is thrown? Most seem to be thrown after they go out of bounds or there is a stoppage.

True, and integrity. But sooner or later this scenario will be repeated the other way. Sad.

Off the whistle, two steps back and drop to a knee. Byrd was the aggressor the whole time

Thank you so very much for putting this together. It put a different spin on the consolation brackets .

Hang in there, I only got one.

How about Pitt, 2nd in 1954 & 1957, Be nice to take some PA talent and keep it here. H2P

Perhaps a wrestling version of a " Flat Earther " No possible way to defend a position, just there to be annoying?

I think the above is the most probable outcome. Mesenbrink is my only lock. However, looking at the possible brackets it is not out of the question for PSU to duplicate the 2001 Minnesota team and have 10 AA's and no champion. There are multiple high-end challengers at the top 8 weight classes. Just a thought.
