Was at the PA high school wrestling championships this past wknd.
It's like watching the NCAA tournament (only half-kidding). I was checking the Intermat HS national wrestling rankings at the time. Good Lord no wonder the rest of the USA wrestles the best of the state of PA every year and I would need to check but pretty sure it's back and forth....If not the edge to PA. AA & AAA both just loaded. A lot of kids going to Iowa including top 2 in nation at 126 Spencer Lee(if you didn't see/hear the story about his loss in the finals at the buzzer --only loss in HS career /would have been his 4th straight title and only the 4th to ever go undefeated in PA history, guys like Kerry Colat...Anyway wrestled with huge brace on leg all tourney, turns out he's had a torn ACL since January. Kid is insane. Bet Brands isn't happy about that). But the #2 kid Teasdale a junior also going to Iowa(AA) won his 3rd straight title and has never lost either lol). Amazing wrestling. UVA got a few really good kids and VT looks like they signed a # of top kids as well. Interesting side note: Jared Verkleeren #1 in nation at idk 152 I think(obviously won another state title)... Remember seeing that he visited Blacksburg a couple months ago before Dresser news. He was uncommitted....Checking out the new Intermat rankings he's obviously still #1 and, you guessed it: now signed with Iowa State. Watching PA high school wrestling every year reminds me why I never made it to states...
