(bout minimum: 5)106 - 1. Kevan Gentile, Jim Thorpe, So. (36-8); 2. Colton Rex, Northern Lehigh, So. (22-11); 3. Baily Wehr, Northwestern, Fr. (15-14).Honorable Mention - Ezra Neff, Lehighton, Fr. (18-10).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the Southeast Regional tournament.113 - 1. Lenny Ogozalek, Panther Valley, Sr. (42-8); 2. Quentin Bernhard, Northwestern, So. (25-13); 3. Zachary Kemmerer, Lehighton, So. (27-10).Honorable Mention - Tanner McHugh, Tamaqua, Fr. (30-12); Antonio Lorenzo, Fr. (13-12); Ryan Dengler, Northwestern, Fr. (11-4).Notes - Ogozalek went 1-2 at the PIAA Wrestling Championships. The senior lost his opening bout to Jamestown's Faris Messai, who finished seventh, by a narrow 6-4 decision, but responded by winning his first round consolation match over Line Mountain's Cameron Newman by a 4-3 decision. Ogozalek's run ended in his second round consolation match when he dropped a 6-3 decision to Montgomery's Kyle Drick, who went on to finish eighth in the tournament. The rest of the group is unchanged after not competing following the regional tournament.120 - 1. Kenny Yanovich, Pleasant Valley, Sr. (26-3); 2. Tegan Durishin, Lehighton, So. (22-13); 3. Darren Goida, Panther Valley, So. (22-14).Honorable Mention - Anthony McCue, Pleasant Valley, So. (17-14); Austin Hemingway, Northern Lehigh, Fr.(12-11); Jonathan Klein, Pleasant Valley, Fr. (3-2); Jarret White, Northwstern, So. (19-12).Notes - Yanovich moves back to the top in an end-of-the-season reshuffle. The Pleasant Valley senior goes back on top simply because of his body of work this season. The rest of the group remains unchanged after not competing following the 2A and 3A District 11 tournaments.126 - 1. Colin Mashack, Tamaqua, Sr. (32-7); 2. Matt Schmall, Northern Lehigh, So. (28-8); 3. Jason Jacobi, Pleasant Valley, So. (20-13).Honorable Mention - Daniel Russo, Palmerton, Jr. (17-17).Notes - Mashack went 1-2 at the state tournament in his second trip to Hershey. The senior lost his preliminary match to Jefferson-Morgan's John Demaske, who finished sixth, by a 4-0 decision. Mashack rebounded and picked up a 9-6 overtime win over Wyoming Area's Charles Johnson in his first round consolation bout to setup a rematch with Pius X's Dante Albanese, whom he'd lost to the previous two weeks at the district and regional tournaments. Much like those matches, this one was again close. But unfortunately for Mashack, Albanese yet again came away victorious, earning a 6-4 decision win that ended the Tamaqua senior's tournament. Albanese went on to finish eighth. The remainder of the group is unchanged after not competing following the district tournament.132 - 1. Dylan Rynkiewicz, Tamaqua, Jr. (35-6); 2. Ali Capobianco, Jim Thorpe, So. (32-10).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the Southeast Regional tournament.138 - 1. Josh Evans, Palmerton, Sr. (36-4); 2. Ryan Farber, Northern Lehigh, Fr. (25-12); 3. Garrett Gouger, Pleasant Valley, So. (21-15).Honorable Mention - Hunter Davidyock, Panther Valley, Jr. (20-17); Andrew Ringler, Palmerton, Fr. (7-4); Kyle Morales, Jim Thorpe, Sr. (10-9); Josh Gornick, Lehighton, Jr. (13-12).Notes - Evans went 3-2 in Hershey, finishing in 5th place. The senior started strong, winning his first two matches over Jeannette's Gio Vonne Sanders and Jefferson-Morgan's Jason Miller, respectively, to advance to the semifinals. Evans next opponent was Brookville's Brock Zacherl, a senior that boasted a 37-2 record coming into the tournament and was coming off a Northwest Regional championship. Evans wrestled tough, but ultimately suffered a 12-0 major decision loss to Zacherl, who went on to win the state championship. Unfortunately for Evans things didn't get any easier, as Fort Leboeuf's George McGuire, who finished fourth, dealt he Palmerton senior another setback by claiming a win in their fourth round consolation match. Despite the two losses, Evans still had a chance finish his career with a win, and the senior made the most of the opportunity, claiming a 2-1 decision victory over Saegertown's Nick Monico in the fifth-place match. Others in the group are unchanged after not competing following the district tournament.145 - 1. Anthony Farano, Lehighton, Sr. (18-16); 2. CJ Young, Northern Lehigh, So. (20-12); 3. Antonio Madera, Jim Thorpe, Fr. (26-14).Honorable Mention - Cole Moyer, Northwestern, So. (5-5).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the district tournament.152 - 1. Zack Christman, Palmerton, Jr. (23-5); 2. Nathan Farber, Northern Lehigh, Jr. (26-9); 3. Tyler Cann, Lehighton, So. (23-11).Honorable Mention - Zachary Glassic, Panther Valley, Jr. (3-2).Notes - Much like the 120-pound group, Christman also moves back to the top of the order based on his accomplishments this season before his injury. The rest of the group remains unchanged after not competing following the district tournament.160 - 1. Brody Keefe, Pleasant Valley, So. (29-14); 2. Zachary Graver, Palmerton, Jr. (26-4); 3. Austin Arnold, Northern Lehigh, Jr. (20-14).Honorable Mention - Robbie Geisinger, Jim Thorpe, So. (22-19); Matt Buss, Panther Valley, Jr. (18-18); Timothy Gergor, Palmerton, Jr. (3-2).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the Southeast Regional tournament.170 - 1. Jared Mooney, Palmerton, Fr. (15-11); 2. Kyle Oliphant, Tamaqua, So. (16-12).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the district tournament.182 - 1. Connor Frey, Lehighton, So. (35-10); 2. Collin Moyer, Tamaqua, So. (21-19); 3. Mathew Wolfe, Palmerton, Jr. (17-12).Honorable Mention - Dylan Moyer, Panther Valley, So. (14-11).Notes - Frey posted a 1-2 mark at the PIAA Championships. The sophomore lost his opening bout to the Northwest Regional champion Dylan Reynolds of Saegertown by fall. The result is somewhat misleading, as Frey and Reynolds were scoreless in the second period when the Saegertown junior, who went on to finish third, earned the victory. Frey showed resolve in winning his first round consolation match by a 3-1 decision over Montoursville's Lucas Shaheen. The win setup a second round bout with Hamburg's Cody Miller, who defeated Frey the previous week at the regional tournament. Though it was close, Miller once again got the best of Frey, earning a 3-2 decision win. Only a sophomore, Frey should only improve in the years to come. Others in the group are unchanged after being inactive following the district tournament.195 - 1. Richard Nase, Panther Valley, Sr. (33-10); 2. Stephen Scheib, Northern Lehigh, Jr. (9-9).Notes - Nase went 2-3 in Hershey, placing 8th. The senior opened with a huge 3-1 decision win over Hyndman's James Bennett, the Southwest Regional champion who entered the tournament with a 35-1 record. Nase lost a tough 3-1 decision in his quarterfinal match against Boiling Springs' Kyle Taylor, but was able to earn a 5-3 decision win over Fort Leboeuf's Garrett Reinwald in his second round consolation match to guarantee himself a spot on the podium. Though he lost his final two matches to Benton's Logan Womelsdorf and United's Tyler Oliver, respectively, Nase still accomplished what he set out to do: Leave Hershey with a medal.220 - 1. Rian Shubeck, Panther Valley, Jr. (33-10).Notes - Shubeck went 0-2 at the PIAA Championships, earning tough draws in both of his matches. The junior suffered a loss by technical fall to Avella's Jake Temple in his opening match. Avella, who entered the tournament 39-0, was the Southwest Regional champion and later went on to claim the gold in Hershey. Shubeck lost a 4-1 decision to Conneaut's Connor Overman, who went on to finish sixth and was the Northwest Regional runner-up. While not the results he was hoping for, Shubeck will get another chance next season and should benefit from the experience he gained this postseason.285 - 1. Ahmad Curtis, Pleasant Valley, Jr. (21-10); 2. Cameron Kates, Northern Lehigh, So. (21-14); 3. Lukas Mika, Panther Valley, So. (17-14).Honorable Mention - Alex Raub, Palmerton, Sr. (9-6).Notes - This group remains unchanged after not competing following the Southeast Regional tournament.(Compiled by Patrick Matsinko)
