Anyone looking to see some of the best high school wrestlers in Western PA should look no further than Canon McMillan High School on December 21st when they host a total of four matches featuring local powerhouses Canon Mac, Kiski Area, Seneca Valley, and Hempfield.

(Note that it's not a "complete" quad tourney as there will be no Kiski-Hempfield nor CM-SV matches.)

Right before Powerade I assume too.

Who is the WPIAL team favorite this year?
 
Good showing by the future Pitt Panthers at a very strong 2018 Powerade Tournament


Sullivan took 3rd at 120. Cameron Enriquez from Stroudsburg beat him 7-5 in the semis. ( Kurtis Phipps, a junior from Norwin moved up to 120 this year and his second Powerade tournament by beating Enriquez 6-5 in the finals)

I have no inside information but it appears to me, Sullivan looks like he is cutting too much weight.. He looks strong and aggressive early in the matches but changes personality in the middle of the second period and is hanging on instead of trying to score points.


Camacho took 3rd at 126. He got upset in the quarter finals by Angelo Rini from St Edwards 8-4, who later won the tournament. Camacho’s quickness and athletic ability really stood out among all of the wrestlers in this tournament but he is going to have to learn to set up his offense more in order to take advantage of that ability. Wait till Gavin starts working a duck-under or his arm drag series with him. The kid is really going to be good.


At 170, Jared Mcgill beat Christian Clutter out of McGuffey, 4-2 SV in the finals to win his second Powerade Tournament. He looked strong throughout the tournament.
