2024 Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic Preview

PIttsburgh Wrestling Classic

TEAM PA vs TEAM USA This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic, of course old time fans will remember it more fondly as The Dapper Dan.  Either way, it’s one of the most prominent all-star events in the sport – where a collective of nationally ranked seniors head to Western PA to take on a team of the Keystone State’s finest. There is also an undercard of sorts featuring a New Jersey squad against a WPIAL team. The story there for me will be to see how Tyeler Hagensen follows up a massive state title run. And the best match looks to be at 121 Ty Kapusta vs Logan Brzozowski. Kapusta is committed to Bucknell with Brzozowski heading to Harvard. Below is each match up of the main event, my predictions for each, and the reasoning for the pick. Event begins at 4:00 PM Eastern with the main event scheduled for 6:00 PM. Streaming on Flo.

His losses were to #1 Landon Sidun and #7 Davis Motyka. Cline is a multi-time CA medalist, finishing 3rd and 3rd these last two seasons. He didn’t pick up any ranked wins this season, and took 3 losses to CA runner up Edwin Sierra and OH D1 champ Ethan Timar. He does have a win over Dom Munaretto from the Fall which would indicate an ability to step up against top 5-10 competition. But, looking at what they’ve done this year and being in PA with Cline having to fly across the country, I like the Rutgers commit Smith to control this one. 121 The Match Up: Louie Gill vs Beric Jordan The Analysis: At his best, Louie Gill can hang with, and beat, the best in the country. The reason he fell a bit to 14 to end the season is that he also – at times – takes some of the more head-scratching losses among the top 15. He was part of a top 10 trio in the 121 AA bracket this season with Aaron Seidel and Gauge Botero. Seidel would end up winning that state title, with Gill and Botero dropping to (at the time) unranked opponents, Gill doing so twice. Though he was able to double up on Botero having beat him during the season and then at Hershey. Jordan is a mainstay in the top 5 from Ohio and then moving to Oklahoma. He’ll be heading to Norman for the Sooners but first, he’ll look to add another high quality win to his HS resume. His only loss on the year was Leo DeLuca in the Ironman finals. His best win was Nate Desmond (finished as the prep champ). Ultimately, I think Jordan has earned the spot as the favorite in this one, and has shown a remarkable level of consistency to win the matches he’s supposed to. Gill should keep it close for PA but this should be where Team USA draws its first blood. 127 The Match Up: Chris Vargo vs JJ McComas The Analysis: Vargo made huge news in the PA post-season defeating Jax Forrest in the regional finals. It was likely that he would face Forrest again in Hershey. And he did, and Forrest got revenge in that one. However, Vargo is definitely a national level kid who can go toe to toe with the best, even if he hasn’t yet strung together the elite wins to keep him in the top 10-15 range. He’ll have that chance here. McComas is similar to Jordan in that the guy just beats the people he should and it doesn’t matter the weight. His only losses were to Jax, Seth Mendoza, and Hunter Hollingsworth up at 138. His best wins were Gage Walker and Cole Evans, both of whom finishing in or right near the top 10. McComas is the favorite here, should go back-to-back with Jordan for Oklahoma wrestlers picking up wins for Team USA. 133 The Match Up: Mason Gibson vs Adrian Meza The Analysis: Gibson came onto the HS scene as a phenom and while he finishes the season just out of my top 25, he certainly has the pedigree to beat just about anyone in this weight.

New Jersey State Tournament Recap: 5 Stories From Atlantic City

2024 New Jersey State Finals Recap: Top 5 Stories Top 5 Stories From New Jersey Fresh 3 One of the arguments around the country is the toughness of a particular state’s season ending championship tournament. Of course, many point to the states with the best talent and, regardless of the event construction, say those are the best, or among the best. And they’re right of course. The most obvious example of this is Pennsylvania. Widely regarded, perhaps unanimously so, as the toughest wrestling state, its tournament is a candidate for toughest, but it’s split into two divisions. Taken individually, each division is up there with any state. In totality it is the largest collection of national talent in one building in a single state. However, it is also obviously true that the toughest tournament possible in PA would combine both divisions. Maybe they’ll do that some day. No they won’t. Other top states that use a multi-division design are Illinois, Ohio, and well just about every other state does – the strong and not as strong alike. But there are states that run a single division tournament. And in that group are a few very strong states as well. California is most notable for the sheer size of its population, even just wrestling participation, it leads the nation. And when looking at ranked wrestlers for example, CA has more in a single tournament (PA has more combined). Indiana is another state that uses a one division system and every year you get some real strong NCAA prospects out of there. New Jersey is the 3rd of the “strong” states that compete in a single division.  So what does this mean, why am I working through all this. Well, because for NJ and CA in particular the number of boys 4 time state champions is remarkably low. In fact, I believe they are tied with 4 such champions ever. In the entire history. 4. That’s it. On the girls side, Kira Pipkins has also done it. Of course to get there, one has to start their career in spectacular fashion. Winning that first title the first year out. And so we always keep a keen eye on the freshmen with the chance to do that and see just how they end up. It’s tough to wrestle a first HS season, a highly competitive schedule, and then navigate 3 days of weigh-ins and competition against older, more physically mature opponents. So, there is something special about those able to do it. Doing it doesn’t guarantee replicating it the remaining three years, but it does set the table at least. And any feast needs a table. Just don’t ask my kids to set. Forks on the right. Or is it left? Apparently, you shouldn’t ask me to do it either. Heading into Atlantic City there were a handful of freshmen that had a realistic shot at pulling this feat off. And coming away from Atlantic City, we have a handful of freshmen now on the 4-time clock.  Cam Sontz The freshman from Delbarton wasn’t just among the handful of freshmen around New Jersey with a shot at being a 4 timer, he was among a handful on his own team with that ability. And as we’ll see in just a minute, a teammate of his joins him on this journey. Sontz season got started in pretty great fashion, reaching the Beast of the East finals against the top 106 pounder in the country, Joe Bachmann (ironically enough also a freshman, from PA). He held his own in that marquee matchup and kept it rolling all season.  He suffered a loss to yet another national freshman phenom in Shamus Regan (Wyoming Seminary) but was then able to avenge that loss and even finish the season with the 2-1 series lead head to head. His only other hiccups along the way were when he bumped up to battle a top 10 senior from Wyoming Seminary (Davis Motyka) and to fellow New Jersey rival Killian Coluccio in the dual that would ultimately send Delbarton to the team state finals. And it was this result that would be most relevant to Atlantic City and set the stage for a possible rematch, for all the marbles. But the NJSIAA still hasn’t figured out what to do with freshmen and they say that like it’s a good thing and so these two freshmen would meet in the semis, not the finals. Oh well. At least it happened at all. And in this setting, it was Sontz coming out with the win, getting revenge on an opponent for the 2nd time this season.  And he would close out the deal in the finals against Anthony Mason, a sophomore from Southern that we’ve thought highly of all season and even predicted to be in the finals once the brackets were released. I expect him to be a worthy opponent for Sontz these next two years, should they be at the same weight. Although it’s safe to say the state’s best rivalry brewing for the next three years will be Sontz Coluccio. And assuming they stay at the same weight, it could well be Coluccio is the one that halts the Sontz championship train. But that’s a story for another day. A bridge to cross when we get there. For now, this is about a super frosh who did exactly what you would expect and part of the Green Wave rolling through the Garden State that shows no signs of slowing down. Ryan DeGeorge Like Sontz, DeGeorge was a freshmen coming in for the Green Wave with the expectations of filling in for departed state champion seniors. Not at their weights but rather just on the roster. Last year, the Green Wave had 4 champions, Tyler Vazquez, Alessio Perentin, Louie Cerchio, and Simon Ruiz. With Vazquez and Ruiz graduating, they would need two new wrestlers to step up. And they got that. They got it from Sontz and they got it
