March 18, 1993 — Three area wrestlers open their PIAA championships with wins in the opening round. Lehighton’s Nic Lorenzo and Steve Hawk in 3A, and Northern Lehigh’s R.C. Price in 2A, all record victories in their first state matches. Lorenzo falls behind early by a 4-3 score in his 103-pound matchup with Elizabethtown’s Eric Herr but rebounds to tally the final eight points to advance with an 11-4 decision. Hawk, at heavyweight, needs just 42 seconds to register a pin of Upper Merion’s Angelo Romaneillo. The Bulldogs’ Price, also at heavyweight, opens the tourney with a fall of Line Mountain’s Joe Wesloski in 1:16.
