Photo24 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 Appears pulling away from the pack even more. 15 AAs, 4 or so champs. Without PAs Lee and Kemmerer Iowa finishes 7th. Only problem is Ohio State recruited the best from PA this year, Hoffman and Sasso, both USA # 1s. Teasdale seems "iffy". AA and not dominant but Sanderson does work miracles.

paboom 204 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Compare everyone from Ohio, PA, NY and NJ and it's not even close. The east was always the strongest but it's getting crazy good but the mid west will always try to claim Ohio even though you always see Ohio competing in PA.

shorty1 4 Report post Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I believe NJ has 4-5 HS kids ranked first in nation. One of them will be beating a 4x Pa state champ this weekend. Except when he loses. But really nothing to be ashamed of, and even the loss at 138 was respectable. But NJ is good. Honestly I would rank them #3 state in the country for high school. But, there is the Blair thing. Some of those kids are from NJ, some aren't, so I'm never quite sure how to evaluate them and if you take Blair out of NJ, still not bad but a lot of quality gone off the top. Just keep wrestling.

Uh huh, but still not in the class of PA. Of course no state really is. Ohio makes a decent run every so often. As far as out west, Pennsylvania is better than all those states too.

BAC 86 Report post Posted March 26, 2018 I love my PA hs wrestling but i think the crop (still in hs) right now is a bit down. The numbers are down in most regions. More forfeits than usual. That is consistent with the national trend so I'm not sure PA is down relative to other states, but still unnerving to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respectfully do not agree. The talent in NJ is upper echelon, and more so when the (Born and raised in NJ) Blair kids are included. This year, Blair had 5 nationally ranked kids from N J; Mastogiovanni’s, Colaiocco, Cannon and Merola. BTW, I think most NJ people do not see a kid like Ruth or Perry as from N J simply because they wrestled at Blair one year. Every year, a good portion of Blair studs are from N J. Further, this year NJ had 8 AA in Cleveland. The majority (Suriano, Rivera, Delvecchio, Heilman and McFadden) wrestled public. In addition, there were perhaps another 4-5 public school wrestlers in blood round. Only three AA (from N J) wrestled at private; McKenna and Kutler(Blair) and Martin (McD). The talent from NJ public is very deep and even deeper with NJ kids who choose Blair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Housebuye 1,949 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 Bergen Catholic is public?No. Jersey has 3 groups though. Bergen Catholic isn’t a prep school so they compete in the normal state championships, unlike Blair.

PSUMike 433 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 This was definitely a weaker year by PA standards. Sasso, Beard, Hoffman, and Teasdale are the class of this year and while they are all elite wrestlers with promising careers ahead of them, I don't see a Spencer Lee, Jason Nolf, Zain Retherford, or Vincenzo Joseph among them. But then again, I didn't think Cenzo was going to be on this level coming out of HS either so what the hell do I know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
