Man are we getting a good one in Dayton Pitzer, he’s just a pure beast!!
It should be noted that Pletcher lost to Laffey, so it's win/win for Pitt
Chappel, priest, keslar won, laffey lost in last second
Stout with a TF, we are gonna have an awesome 1-2 punch in stout and Pitzer in the future
Pitzer just pinned kid in the finals in 0:40, unreal
We are going to need the Oakland Zoo to moonlight as Pitzer's Pin Pit when he gets to campus
Sat with the Pitzer family last night. he is a man child out wrestling. His preparation will be taken to the next level in college. His mother and other family were in johnstown because his brother in 8th grade is tearing it up also. Already a big kid.
Pretty solid class coming in. We have some nice you g pieces and if we somehow add Poulin to that group we should be in a good spot for the future
Unofficial AAA State Bracket.
Lot of interesting young talent in the state -- quite a few freshmen sitting with records like 33-1, 32-2.
Yes, Flo. Finalized brackets are up with some changes due to prestige point system.
Talk about those brackets geez did the PIAA look bad with all the errors and changes
Yes there is. Something I have noticed over the years, you see a great deal of freshman at the lower weights who haven’t hit puberty and then they jump 2-3 weight classes the next two years. Theyre built a little different. There is also a strong trend to hold backs, 1 and even 2 year hold backs. With the PIAA rule being that you can’t turn 19 prior to July 1 of your Senior year, we are seeing a bunch of families holding back to get the most out of their high school career. Saw some matches last year between seniors and sophomores who were less than six months apart age wise.

He’s a good kid too. Very polite and he has a frame that can be built on. He will be a very athletic heavy weight, in my opinion
Heard a rumor from a WVU wrestlers parent yesterday at WP’s that he is leaning WVU. Just a rumor, but coming from a WVU recruits parent it has some smoke to it.
Cardinale not coming back for his extra year? Or is he moving up?
Watching some first-round matches from yesterday! I believe all commits are still front side except Pletcher who won his prelim and lost 4-2 to Evans who split matches with Laffey. Laffey WBF and could see Evans for a rubber match in the finals. Pletcher is still taking a fair amount of Ls but there's good potential for him to improve a lot on campus. Anyone think he could be a college 149? I've always thought he looked short & thick at 152.
Tebo used two reversals to win 4-2 in R16. Looks like he has a big, strong frame for 113. His opponent had decent height advantage so TC was not able to do much from neutral. Keslar won R16 12-3, he has a possible semifinal against Morlacci who he's split two matches with this year. Briar Priest WBF. We haven't heard a ton from him this year. He got a nice draw, with Kasak and Manville both on the top side.
Mac is very likely to have a semifinal tomorrow morning I think? Against undefeated Sonny Sasso, buncha folks were up in arms about them being on the same side of the brackets. In AA Pitzer and MacKay will prob cruise to the finals and then have more competitive matches there.
Cuerbo kicking off Ohio states today, he's a top 1 or 2 seed at 113 and there's a 44-0 guy on the other side so maybe we'll see that.
Unconfirmed siblings, etc
Jack Lledo (Sr.) from Lower Merion qualified at 160 taking third at the SE regional, he lost R16 and won his first consi match. Mason Kernan (So.) went 0-2 with two very close losses. I think he'll find a lot more success next year without Kilkeary in his district tbh.

Yeah all of our guys are looking very tough. we also have Kesler at 160. his toughest match I believe will be this one coming up here in a couple hours vs. Colajezzi, if he gets through that I think he is on his way to a title.
We got some tough kids coming up, can’t wait till they get to Pitt. I’m still amazed with Pitzer, he literally doesn’t go a full period, his next match that goes longer will probably be the wrestling classic.
Not a Pitt commit but talk about the day Griffin Gonzalez pulled off. Beating both Taddy and Dagen. He should be on a lot of radars after that performance!
Absolutely, and he didn’t just win I believe he majored condomitti.
Mac Stoudt 18-2 tech fall in 1:38 of the first. Quarter finals
So we got Priest,laffey, keslar, and stout in the AAA semifinals. Chappel and pletcher alive in the wrestle backs
Think so? Stewart went up a weight for their first matchup. Kind of seemed like a one-time thing to me but idk.
Laffey's QF was pretty nuts. Not why the his opponent was so averse to going on bottom even for the 30s rideouts.
Jack Pletcher then clinched his first state placement by defeating the same poor fella.
He told us he didn’t like WVU after his visit. So there’s that.
i should add I think he’s waiting to see if any of the blue blood programs show interest, but I don’t us losing him to WVU.
