The junior picked up an impressive 20-4 (6:00) tech. fall win over Cann, and a dominant pin in 1:35 against Bangor's Brandon Tocket. After qualifying for states a year ago, there's little reason to believe Graver can't repeat the performance this season. Keefe picked up a 6-0 decision win over Northampton's Devon Turner, who is 10-17 this season, in his only match last week. Geisinger went 2-0 last week, picking up decision wins over Upper Dauphin's Clayton Kerwin and Schuylkill Haven's Trevyn Fessler.170 - 1. Austin Arnold, Northern Lehigh, Jr. (17-11); 2.

Moyer finished the regular season strong, pinning Panther Valley's Matt Buss in the second period of his only match a week ago. Wolfe went 2-0 for the Bombers last week, pinning Lehighton's Logan Berger and picking up a forfeit win in Palmerton's match against Bangor. Dylan Moyer did not wrestle last week.195 - 1. Richard Nase, Panther Valley, Sr. (23-4); 2. Stephen Scheib, Northern Lehigh, Jr. (9-9).Notes - After losing to Blue Mountain's Zach Yackenchick, Nase went 2-0 last week, picking up both wins by forfeit.

Ahmad Curtis, Pleasant Valley, Jr. (15-6); 2. Cameron Kates, Northern Lehigh, So. (20-12); 3. Lukas Mika, Panther Valley, So. (16-12).Honorable Mention - Alex Raub, Palmerton, Sr. (9-6).Notes - Curtis pinned Northampton's Alex Darbaris in his only match a week ago. Tracking the junior's progress in his first postseason will certainly be worth watching. Mika earned a forfeit victory in Panther Valley's match against Tamaqua and did not wrestle in the Panthers' contest against Pottsville. Kates and Raub did not wrestle last week. Like Curtis, it will be interesting to see how this talented, but young, group fares in the postseason.(Compiled by Patrick Matsinko)
