After taking an early lead, Evans was unable to keep Labriola on his heels and was forced to play defense for most of the final two periods, eventually falling 4-2. Despite the loss, the senior will have a chance at redemption this weekend at regionals, a tournament he missed last season. Farber posted a 4-2 mark over the weekend, defeating Saucon Valley's Nick Schneider 3-1 in the fifth place match. Gouger and Davidyock each failed to medal at 138.145 - 1.

(16-12).Notes - Mooney went 1-2 at districts, failing to advance past the second round of the consolation bracket.

After splitting the first two matches of the season with Pine Grove's Guy Zimmerman, the sophomore lost to the Cardinals' senior in the quarterfinals.

But the senior was able to make amends for the setback, winning both consolation round matches to finish third and once again advance to regionals. Nase's 1-0 victory over top seed Justin Blobe of Saucon Valley in his third place match was especially impressive. Scheib did not wrestle last week.220 - 1.

The junior dropped a 5-2 decision to Pine Grove's Ryan Martin in the semifinals but was able to win his two matches in the consolation bracket. The experience Shubeck and Nase gained in the regional tournament a year ago should benefit them greatly this season.285 - 1. Ahmad Curtis, Pleasant Valley, Jr. (20-8); 2.

(17-14).Honorable Mention - Alex Raub, Palmerton, Sr. (9-6).Notes - Curtis turned in a stellar performance at 285 pounds in the Class 3A tournament over the weekend.
