He’s not very flashy.

He’s the kind of kid who often answers questions with a “Yes sir” or “No ma’am,” a farm kid who’s not afraid of a good day’s work and results that might not be seen right away.

So when Chance Marsteller wins a wrestling match — and he almost always does — he’s not much for theatrics. It’s a raised arm and a hand shake and a quick walk to the next match, wherever it may be.

When you’re an eighth grader who’s wrestled against college kids and set goals for the Olympic Games only two years away, you don’t overreact to the small stuff. But this was a big deal.

Marsteller, who will be a freshman at Kennard-Dale this fall, was wrestling in a national tournament. There were wrestlers from all over the country, places such as Hawaii and Alaska and almost every other state you could imagine. And Martseller was beyond nervous as the spotlight beamed down on the big-time tournament.

No matter that his first varsity wrestling match is still five months away.

Chance Marsteller, a rising Kennard-Dale ninth-grader, continues to turn heads from one elite tournament to the next, one state to another.

How good is he?

Good enough that InterMat Wrestling, a national website, just named him the top incoming freshman wrestler in the United States, regardless of weight class.

Penn State doesn’t need to leave Pennsylvania to begin or end its 2010-11 wrestling season. The Nittany Lions aren’t leaving the state for their marquee match, either.

The program’s second schedule under coach Cael Sanderson announced Tuesday is a stark contrast to the one the program constructed in 2009-10.

The Nittany Lions are wrestling 10 times in Pennsylvania. That total includes seven dual meets at Rec Hall. Penn State wrestled just five home matches during Sanderson’s first season.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson has announced the team’s 2010-11 schedule and Nittany Lion fans will be treated to an exciting home schedule featuring seven duals in Rec Hall.

The 2010-11 season opens up on Friday, Nov. 12, with a short trip to Bloomsburg. The Nittany Lions will battle the Huskies at 7 p.m. Lehigh then invades Rec Hall on Sunday, Nov. 14, for the home opener set to start at 2 p.m. Penn State will close out November with a trip to the Sprawl and Brawl Duals in Binghamton, N.Y., on Sunday, Nov. 21.

Penn State wrestlers Cameron Wade and Quentin Wright recently turned 21, making them among the youngest entries in the United States World Team Trials.

Yet neither seems intimidated by the seasoned opponents lurking this weekend in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Wade and Wright spent the spring training with the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club’s stable of accomplished upper weights. Wade, who’s competing at 96 kilograms (211.5 pounds), and Wright, who’s competing at 84 kilograms (185), are among the wrestlers trying to earn a spot in September’s world championships in Moscow

UNIVERSITY PARK — With top-40 music playing from the speakers and clocks counting down from 48 minutes, the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex brims with activity nearly two months after Penn State finished its official season.

In one corner, an Olympic gold medalist and emerging heavyweight struggle moving each other. In an adjacent circle, a two-time NCAA champion pushes around a sophomore hoping to reach similar heights.

On the other side of the complex, another former NCAA champ trains with a teenager whose life revolves around wrestling. Behind the glass walls separating the wrestling mats and weight room, a man with big hopes for the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club’s newest endeavor and freestyle wrestling at Penn State watches a rehabbing heavyweight.

This mid-May afternoon provides a glimpse into a joke that started last fall when a competitor spotted heavyweight Les Sigman wearing NLWC gear at a major freestyle tournament. The competitor asked Sigman what the letters meant.

“It’s the future of wrestling,” Sigman responded.

In it he lists the class as:

The jewels of the class are twin brothers Andrew and Dylan Alton from Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, Pa. They were ranked Nos. 2 and 8, overall, by InterMat. Joining them are ranked wrestlers Sam Sherlock (No. 22) from West Mifflin HIgh School in West Mifflin, Pa., Dirk Cowburn (No. 54) from Coudersport High School in Coudersport, Pa., Hank Stinson (No. 70) from Eastern Regional High school in Voorhees, N.J., Frank Martellotti from Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh, Pa., Seth Beitz from Juniata High School in Mifflintown, Pa., Nick Ruggear from Oxford High School in Oxford, Pa., and Cameron Kelly from Pittsford Mendon High School in Pittsford, N.Y

One thing continues to trouble me – what about Nate Morgan?

A month ago we saw Morgan, from McCook Nebraska, posing with his family at a press conference he called, ostensibly signing a national letter of intent to come to Penn State. Yet we’ve never heard a peep out of Sanderson or anyone else at PSU.

Is this kid coming here or not?
