HERSHEY – It was something not normally seen against Jordan Rich.
Wrestling Lasalle’s Joey Mazzi in the preliminary round at 135 pounds, the Wildcat senior found himself on the opposite side of a dangerous headlock, his shoulders inches from the mat. Rich was leading 5-1 at the time before the sudden move had him in trouble.

With a week between the Big Ten championships and NCAA championships, Penn State head wrestling coach Cael Sanderson took a break from preparations to observe some of his prized recruits in action at the PIAA wrestling tournament.
Three defending state champs, Central Mountain’s Andrew and Dylan Alton and Coudersport’s Dirk Cowburn, are Penn State recruits for next season, and Franklin Regional junior 119-pounder Nico Megaludis has verbaled to PSU.
No surprise: Central Mountain’s Andrew and Dylan Alton dominate their PIAA tournament openers
DUSTIN HOCKENSMITH, The Patriot-News
Central Mountain senior wrestlers Andrew and Dylan Alton turned in two of the most dominant performances of the PIAA Class AAA wrestling tournament. The twins accomplished their feats differently – one with a machine-like technical fall and one with a blink-and-you-missed-it pin.
Andrew Alton squared off with Mechanicsburg senior Rustin Barrick, who, to his credit, spent little time on his back in a 27-9 defeat. But, Barrick was no match for Alton on his feet during a match-long exchange of takedowns and escapes. Late in the second period, Alton put an end to the back-and-forth, sealing the tech fall with a takedown and adding three nearfall points for good measure.

HERSHEY, Pa. — Dirk Cowburn barely looked out of breath. It took just 80 seconds for the Coudersport senior to pin his opponent in his first-round bout.
Not a bad way for the two-time champ to start his final PIAA wrestling tournament.
“Every time you come into a tournament like this, your name's in the books … two-time state champs, of course everyone is trying to beat you,” Cowburn said Thursday at the Giant Center. “That's what makes it exciting.”

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.
