2026 PIAA Individual State Wrestling Championships Schedule & Brackets
The 2026 PIAA Individual State Wrestling Championships will take place live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app on March 5-7. Here are the details.

If you’ve grown to become a Bo Bassett, fan during his memorable high school wrestling career in Pennsylvania, you’ll have one more chance to watch him add to his legacy before going off to college.
Bassett will be among the headliners at the upcoming 2026 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Boys & Girls Individual State Wrestling Championships, where he’ll be looking to claim his third individual state title with a collegiate career at Virginia Tech on the horizon.
The Bishop McCort High School senior recently helped his squad to a third consecutive runner-up finish at the PIAA Team Wrestling State Championships, and now every minute of their journey at the PIAA Individual State Championships will be streamed live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app.
The 2026 PIAA Individual State Wrestling Championships will take place March 5-7 at GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Like most states, the PIAA wrestling postseason is an extensive gauntlet of competitions that funnel into the grand finale. In this case, victory might even be a little sweeter, since the 306,000-square foot GIANT Center is a huge part of the Hershey experience.
The road back to the GIANT Center began with regional competition across 12 sites (eight boys, four girls) in February (Feb. 20-21; Feb. 22; Feb. 27-28; Feb. 28)
Bassett and his team compete in Class 2A, and while he’ll certainly be a focal point during the state event, the pool of talent is deep.
In fact, Bassett might be the No. 1-ranked high school wrestler on the pound-for-pound FloWrestling High School Rankings, but there are five other Pennsylvania wrestlers in the top 20, including his brother, Melvin Miller, who is the top recruit for the Class of 2027.

Bassett originally announced his commitment to the University of Iowa, live for more than 40,000 fans on FloWrestling, but he later changed his mind and announced he’d be going to Virginia Tech – with Miller.
With that lengthy process out of the way, it means the athletes can just focus on doing what they love and seeing if they can share the podium one more time before they go their separate ways.
From 2022-2025, Bassett was 126-0 for his school, won the state title at 139 pounds as a sophomore and won at 145 pounds as a junior.
Now wrestling at 150 pounds, Bassett recently was celebrated for reaching 150 high school victories.
Earlier in February, Bassett and Bishop McCort fell to Faith Christian in the title tilt of the 2026 PIAA Team Wrestling State Championships. Faith Christian won 46-18. It wasn’t the same score, but it was the same result for the third consecutive year.
Among the highlights at the 2025 individual championships was Bassett winning his second individual PIAA state championship and helping Bishop McCort to a Class AA runner-up finish behind Faith Christian.
