Notes ... Schwartz has wrestled his last three matches at 113 pounds, going 3-0 with two pins. Heaney has also bumped up, going 3-0 at 120 pounds, while also posting two pins … Since reentering the lineup on Jan. 23 against Williams Valley, Newton has gone 4-0. He’s had no problem scoring points, posting three decisions of 11-10, 16-11 and 9-3, while also recording a pin among his four victories … Coccio is 3-0 since a major decision loss to Northwestern’s Harrison Bernhard at district duals. And the sophomore has been impressive, posting wins by major decision, pin and technical fall … Sangiuliano has posted two wins since a major decision loss to Northwestern’s Donovan White at district duals, recording a technical fall and a pin in his last two matches, both at 132 pounds … Christman has gone 3-0 since a 10-8 overtime loss to Midd West’s Avery Bassett in the 138-pound final at the Coal Cracker Tournament on Jan. 26, posting a major decision and a pin while also collecting a forfeit … Whiteman is 15-1 since a loss to Palmerton’s Lucas Christman on Jan. 7. The senior’s only setback during that time was a 7-5 loss to Saucon Valley’s Nicholas Rosengrant at district duals … Pagotto is 6-1 since a 4-3 loss to Williams Valley’s Chett Pesta in the 152-pound final at the Schuylkill League Tournament. He’s pinned his last three opponents in the first period … McDermott has been on a roll this month, going 5-0 with a pin and major decision, in addition to three decision victories … Lalik returned to the lineup against Schuylkill Haven on Feb. 9, and pinned Dakota Streisel in 54 seconds. It was Lalik’s first match since Jan. 15 against Saucon Valley … Like Coccio, Holland is also 3-0 since a loss at district duals. Holland has posted two pins and also owns an 11-9 decision over Blue Mountain’s Brandin Reber in his most recent bout … Wickersham is on a roll of five straight victories, all coming by way of pin fall. The sophomore is now ranked first at 170 pounds … Fronheiser picked up a 8-3 decision over Newhall in Jim Thorpe’s win over Lehighton last week … Circling back to the logjam among the top-three at 182 pounds, Williams owns a decision over Krell but was majored by Watson, who lost an 11-7 decision to Krell. We’ll see what happens at districts, as all three are seeded in the top-seven in the weight class at districts ... Zeigenfuss bumped up to 195 pounds last week against Jim Thorpe and dropped a 3-2 decision to Herron in overtime. A rematch might be coming at districts, with Zeigenfuss seeded fourth and Herron eighth … Since a 2-0 loss to Strouse, Hunter has posted back-to-back victories against Columbia Montour Vo-Tech and Lehighton, finishing both matches with pins … JUST A BIT OUTSIDE: Panther Valley’s Aaron Eidem (7-2), Tamaqua’s Joey Minehan (5-4) and Reese Szabo

(6-3) are just outside the 10 match cutoff to make the rankings. Eidem likely will have a chance to get in with several matches at districts this weekend.
