Nobody Asked Me, But…Pennsylvania AAA States Edition

i like ceral
lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

hi

This past weekend was the 2008 Brute Scholastic Showcase, the best teams from numerous states (20 Teams) attended. PA won the tournament with a combined score of 406 - 46, beating Ohio, Mass., NC, Delaware, Colorado, Maryland, Indiana. They beat Maryland 63 - 0, which Maryland took 4th place lossing to NJ 29 - 24. To bad MO didn't have a team present to see what the result would have been.

Wow people are retarded thinking PA wrestling sucks...PA by far has the deepest quality wrestling in the country..Dont get me wrong other states have some bad asses...but put the 4th or 5th place finisher
of any other state up against a pa 4th or 5th kid and youll see what im talking about..why do think there are so many pa kids in ncaa tournament

nice recap

Perhaps flow didn't cover PA states because the public channel(PCN) has rights and broadcast the finals live. Also, makes sense if you can get PA finals live, for free, to be in Jersey, gives wrestling fans more coverage. So, we had some of the top dogs(CA, PA, NJ, OH) for free this year.
Can't argue with that.

where can i watch the videos of the finals?

right to finals for johnston.... QUAL 1st 2nd 3rd

Colin Johnston only has 2 trips to the finals.

what happened in the Oliver match?

I agree with everyone of these. Jordan Oliver deserved a five minute standing ovation for what he's done in high school but instead he got booed

Pa wrestling rules. Look at NCAA Division one qualifiers. There are more kids from Pa. than any other state.

VA crushes bottom work
i mean the Granby system brings the hurt

I liked the comment on this Evan Craig kid, it made me laugh. I also agree with the comments made about PA mat wrestling . . . I am from Ohio and all we do in open mats and such is go takedowns and learn takedown techniques and it shows . . . I used to go to Lock Haven to wrestle in their open and would get eaten up if I was on bottom.

thanks for the article, i go to school out of state so i was unable to catch the action... evan craig goes to my former high school and i think you're certainly right that we will be seeing a lot more from him in the next couple years... as for the comments below, i hardly believe PA wrestling sucks, look at the facts and the great wrestlers our state has produced... We're the state everyone loves to hate because of our wrestling talent...

NEW JERSEY IS THE BEST WRESTLING STATE.

Even down here in Florida we know PA is the best wrestling, I didn't know MO even had wrestling.

Would have loved to see the pa finals. Pa with ohio two of the toughest state in wrestling. Lots of respect for PA wrestlers. And the MO guy your and idiot

but mo's natl team is pretty good this yr

:)))))

state population
----------------
12,440,621 penn
5,842,710 mo

so the ratio supports pa as well.

Total number of national qualifiers in Division I, II, III
MO- D.I 5, D.II 8, D.III 0= 13
PA- D.I 46, D.II 20, D.III 20= 86

If you have reached elementary math yet little boy(mo wrestling, PA Sucks) I'm sure your familiar with this. PA > MO
I could go on for days with this argument so it's best you just leave it at this.

1. I don't understand what your trying to say in your first argument.
2. PA has the most qualifiers in Division I, II, and III.

NOthing to do in the state and there's more than one division, pa is garbage

Really? mo wrestling, this year PA has 46 NCAA qualifiers to MO's 5...

MO will beat both PA and NJ

anybody know what happened in the Oliver match? how it went and what the controversial call was and such?

I would have to disagree with the Busler choosing not to go underneath Peppleman. If you saw these two wrestle in the D3 team finals, you would understand why Busler chose not to go underneath - was tilted often. Also, it worked out well for him in the D3 AAA regional finals.

he was stating two of the best freshmen in the country and thanks didnt get to see um myself but this was a pretty good substitute

yes, phillips isn't from PA, he's saying along with him, courts was the best freshman in the country

chris phillips im pretty sure is from ohio

Good review, I too was impressed with the upper weights this year, particularly the underclassmen.
Good luck to PA grapplers at Dapper Dan!
