OpenMat: The Best Class Ever – 2010 PIAA State Wrestling Championships Preview | OpenMat News
Pennsylvania Seniors Making Their Mark on History
Willie Saylor, Editor
The PIAA State Wrestling Championships will be staged this weekend in Hershey. Always a triumphant affair, this year will be increasingly special, as it will serve as a swansong for perhaps the greatest senior class, from any one particular state, in the history of high school wrestling.
Pennsylvania has long been known as a hotbed of wrestling; since about, well, forever.
AP: PIAA wrestling tourney to get under way in Hershey
The Associated Press previews the PIAA Tournament. From the coverage our guys get, you would think that it was written by a PSU guy. Sherlock, Cowburn, Martellotti, Megaludis, and both Altons are all mentioned.
TheOpenMat’s High School Rankings
TOM has published their most recent high school rankings.

140: #18. Sr. Hank Stinson, Eastern Regional, NJ

The complete rankings can be found at TheOpenMat.
Dylan Alton an early pick for the Dapper Dan
Marshall Peppelman also nails down an early invite
In somewhat of a break from tradition, the Dapper Dan selection committee has extended invites to Central Mountain’s Dylan Alton and Central Dauphin’s Marshall Peppelman before the PIAA tournament. Normally they wait until the completion of the state championships before announcing the participants but the committee felt that the two titles each earned by Alton and Peppelman were worthy of the early invite.
Andrew Alton will undoubtedly be looking to pick up another title in the tournament to join his brother on the Pennsylvania roster for the March 20th event in Pittsburgh.
CDT: Sanderson has Lions cooking on the mat
A few thoughts, while wondering if the snow will be gone before May:
Many years ago, a former college wrestling coach was asked about how his team would do that season.
His blunt response — put in a little kinder language here — came in cooking terms and that how it would be difficult, given his team’s current ingredients, to make chicken salad.
I think most of you get the drift here.
Well, Cael Sanderson must have gone to a different culinary school. The first-year Penn State wrestling coach is on par with Emeril Lagasse or Bobby Flay.
