Powerade notes

I would not want to be given the responsibility of seeding this tournament. There is just so much disparity between the different states. The quality of wrestling is not the same. But a champion is a champion, and it's hard to overlook that. ... I like the fact West Greene and Chartiers-Houston are constant competitors in this event, even though they could be more successful somewhere else. It's good for their programs to see such a high level of wrestling early in the season. ... One of the most topsy turvy weight classes is 112, where two pigtail wrestlers - Solon's Anthony Collica and Moeller's Stephen Myers – made the semifinals. ... Connellsville's Nate Gaffney pulled off an unusual feat: back-to-back pins in the same time: 1:57. ... Nikos Garofolo of Hempfield knocked off Trinity's Kyle McWreath and McGuffey's Nick Shuman in the first day. He is having an outstanding tournament for a low seed. ... My dark horse of the tournament - Tanner Hough of Westmont Hilltop - stumbled in the second round but can still finish third. ... Charleroi's Josh Kwasny ran into Nico Megaludis of Franklin Regional in the second round but is still a good bet to finish third. ... Trevor Gibson of Penn Trafford had one of his best wins of the season - 4-3 in overtime against Ethan Saylor of Connellsville in the quarters. His reward is a match against Marshall Peppelman of Central Dauphin in the semis.
