This weekend is the <small>PIAA STATE TEAM DUALS CHAMPIONSHIPS. In AAA, District 6 champ Central Mountain, featuring the Alton brothers, will be competing with the defending champs from District 3, the Central Dauphin Rams featuring Marshall Peppleman.

If these 2 teams meet, there is some speculation as to whether Coach Buckwalter will send one of the Altons out to meet Peppleman in hopes of disrupting the Rams line up.

That would be an interesting match indeed!

To do so CM will have to defeat traditional power Easton, (Jordan Oliver, Alex Krom are some of their alums) & take on CD in the semis.

In the lower bracket are some other top teams in Canonsburg McMillan from District 7 , (suburban Pittsburgh) & Boyertown from District 1, (suburban Philly) who beat out perrenial powers Council Rock North & South to take that title.

In AA Blue Mountain with Josh Kindig did not win their district but Shady Side Acaemy with Frank Martoletti did make it, Reynolds with Walsh Ironman Champ Mason Beckman & traditional District 9 power Ridgeway will be there as well.

Should be a very exciting weekend of PA HS wrestling in Hershey!

Dylan Alton has moved up a weight to 160 from 152. Like I said, we may see Alton v Peppleman this weeend.

Also look out for Cody Dolan in the future.

Did you catch this? In the opening round, Kiski (WPIAL) wrestled the city league champs and beat them 84 to -1. The article doesn't mention it, but Perrry was deducted a team point.

No I didn't. That IS a pasting!

It's going to be a great weekend of wrestlign that's for sure. I wish I could be there!

I prefer the individual tournament in March.

I feel the team tourney leads to recruiting and all-star teams, which ultimately hurt the sport. But, that's another story for another day.

When I wrestled in Central PA I always wanted there to be a team Dual championship. It came TOO late. Our HS my senior year maybe could have won it. It is a different sort of competition as so much in wrestling is individual. It feels good to compete as a team like that.

2010 PIAA State Dual Tournament Preview
http://news.theopenmat.com/2010/02/2...ament-preview/

Just like I thought, (and others said this too) Central Mountain's Dylan Alton moved up to 160 to meet Marshall Peppelman but then Central Dauphin then moved Peppelman up to 171 to avoid him!

CD took the match 35-34!

In reality this was really the finals match up we should have had. CM beat District 11 champ Easton by 16. District 11 runner up Parkland made it to the finals & CD beat them by 13. CM beat Easton a 2nd time for 3rd place.

The match started @ 145 with Andrew Dalton pinning his CD rival in 30 seconds to start the match 6-0 for the Wildcats. You can see all the match results here:

The last match of the semi was 140. Central Dauphin's Sweigard, (coach's son) took on Brill from Central Mountain. With te score 35-30 in favor of CD, Brill needed the fall to score a victory for the WIldcats. Unfortunately that video has NOT been uploaded to YT, but from I hear & read, Brill actually had Sweigard on his back but the either couldn't get the fall OR as CM fans are claiming, the fall wasn't called. Brill got the major but CD won by a point.

Nevertheless, it was most of the most exciting PIAA dual matches in PA HS history. Here are some of the matches below & other links to articles. CD wins it's 3rd straight dual title.

Btw the videos are posted in chronological order.

Peppleman switch hits started on the right in the ref's pos & then the next time takes the left. His FS really shows has he turns Buckwalter 3xs with a tightwaist roll. Even rolls him right on his head @ one point for a near fall.
