Three Sign LOI

Below I have paraphrased and plagiarized some of the nice work done by Stephen Patrick at Pittsburgh Sports Now. Gavin and Co are really establishing a nice foundation - particularly in western PA. Still a year or two away from top ten team year in and year out.

6:01 AM - 15 Nov 2018 from Pittsburgh, PA
 
Austin Cooley won The Mat Town Open at LHU Nov 25th

First round beat a Balkin from Columbia 8-3. Balkin was 10-15 last year as a sophomore.

Second round Pinned Murphy from Bloomsburg at 4:15. Murphy is a sophomore and was 15-18 last year.

In the finals he beat Wustefeld also out of Columbia, 3-2. Wustefeld is a freshman but was a two time NJ state finalist.

Maybe these guys are not ranked opponents but still an impressive performance for a high schooler - particularly in an upper weight.
