adidas HS Hub: Ottinger, PA Upset USA at Dapper Dan
Willie Saylor, Editor
In preparation for this weekend's Dapper Dan, which features 13 match-ups of the tightest sort, we flash back to the 2011 Dapper.
PA had no shot to win. The deck was stacked with a U.S. line-up of national names that made the PA team look out-gunned against. What happened was incredible.
Coming of the heels of PA's 2010 class, which some (myself included) dubbed the greatest PA class ever (Kindig, Dziewa, Altons, Myers, Peppelman), no one gave PA a chance. If the 2010 class didn't win, how could the 2011 class?
USA 30 PA 13
130 Jamie Clark Ohio dec Joe Spisak Boiling Springs 3-1
112 Ryak Finch Arizona dec Michael Rhone Benton 8-5
215 Spencer Myers Selinsgrove dec Trevor Rupp Idaho 3-1
125 Logan Stieber Ohio dec Mitchell Port Bellefonte 11-5
285 Bobby Telford Delaware fall Evan Craig Abington Heights 3:38
119 Ty Mitch Ohio dec Anthony Marino Bethlehem Liberty 12-11
189 Mike Evans New Jersey dec Jamie Callender Council Rock North 8-5
171 Nick Visicaro New Jersey dec Matthew Cunningham Shady Side Academy 10-5
140 OW Chris Villalonga New Jersey dec. Josh Kindig Blue Mountain 6-2
135 OW Joshua Dziewa Council Rock South major dec Ryan Nieman Michigan 14-5
160 Marshall Peppelman Central Dauphin dec Nick Sulzer Ohio 1-0
145 Andrew Alton Central Mountain dec Joe Cozart Florida 9-4
152 Jackson Morse Michigan dec Dylan Alton Central Mountain 7-6
But someone forgot to tell PA. They pulled upset after upset and beat USA soundly. The epitome of the dual was Mike Ottinger, a 1x champ (and an unlikely one at that), beating the most credentialled member on the U.S. squad.
