Pgh Post Gazette: Pinning glory
By Chris Adamski, Tri-State Sports & News Service
HERSHEY, Pa. — Throughout his high school career, Matthew Cunningham gradually worked his way up the PIAA Class AA place-winner ladder before finally breaking through with a championship.
Shady Side Academy teammate, Frank Martellotti, won his title early on — as a freshman — and finished among the PIAA’s top three every year thereafter.
Both completed stellar high school careers and look forward to wrestling at Division I colleges.
Martellotti, a Penn State recruit who won PIAA gold in 2007, made his second appearance in a title match last week at Giant Center but lost, 4-3, to Boiling Springs’s; Joe Spisak at 130 pounds.
Interesting comment by Charlerloi’s freshman phenom Cody Weircioch
From an interview in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette where he was named the athlete of the week for his PIAA title.
You could have a wrestling scholarship to any college in the country, where would you pick?
Probably Stanford or Penn State.
That’s going to be enough for me to add him to my recruiting matrix.

The three-day event represented one of the few major tournaments Cael Sanderson, a four-time undefeated NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist, had never attended.
