Remember these names

There are three names of out-of-town wrestlers to remember when you make the trip to Hershey for the state wrestling tournament. These wrestlers who excelled at Powerade will only get better and have the talent to be state champions.

1. Josh Kindig of Blue Mountain: This freshman beat McGuffey's No. 6 seed Matt Scherich, No. 2 seed Mike Holcomb of Kellm and then pushed top-seeded Nico Cortese, a state runnerup from Hempfield, to three OTs before losing by rideout at 119 pounds

2. Marshall Peppelman. He's a freshman and brother of Walter Peppelman of Cantral Dauphin, a state runner-up last season. Marshall Peppelman beat the Nos. 5, 2 and 1 seeds in winning at 130 pounds.

3. Joe Lascari. This freshman from North Star continues in a long line of Lascaris and knocked off the Nos. 7 and 3 seeds before losing to Shane Young of Penn Trafford in the 103-pound finals.

OK, slowly back away from any sharp objects, We don't want you hurting yourself. You can't be of right mind if you don't agree that a tournament that has had 14 future NCAA champions, including Cary Kolat, Joe Williams, Teague Moore, and Alan Fried, and included 80 returning state qualifiers, including two-time PIAA champion Troy Dolan of Derry, who just happened to wrestle defending state champion Colin Johnson of Canon-McMillan, is not one of the best in the country. Sheesh.
