Class AAA states updates

Only three local guys here:

132
Greater Johnstown's Malcolm Harris looked solid in his 9-3 victory over Upper Perkiomen's Wolfgang McStravick (great name, huh?). Harris scored four takedowns - including two in the first period - in an impressive victory. He'll need to be even better on Friday to have a chance against Central Dauphin's Shyheim Brown, who is ranked 19th nationally by Intermat.

182
Westmont Hilltop's Ryan Burnheimer lost 4-1 to West Chester Rustin's Tyler Wood. Burnheimer, who beat Wood 11-6 earlier in the season, could never get his offense going. After Wood nearly scored a takedown in the first, Burnheimer got close to one in a scramble, but it ended scoreless. Burnheimer gave up a second-period escape and got turned with a power half in the third. He also gave up a stalling point before escaping with 20 seconds remaining.

285
Westmont Hilltop's Josh Duplin looked as dominant as one can in a 3-2 double-overtime victory. Duplin, who weighs about 235 pounds, consistently got in on single-leg attacks against Warwick's Tom Devenney, but was afraid of getting trapped under the 280-pound heavyweight and couldn't finish. They traded escapes in the second and third periods - although Devenney was warned for stalling and easily could have given up the match-deciding point on a second call. Instead, Duplin had to take advantage of his reversal in the first half of the second overtime period. He gave up an escape to Devenney in the second-half of the period, but it didn't matter much.

First-Round Consolations
182
Westmont's Ryan Burnheimer bounced back with a 3-0 victory over Blue Mountain's Travis Moyer. The match was scoreless through two periods, as Burnheimer rode him out in the second period. Burnheimer escaped two seconds into the third and, after a dubious stalling call, scored a takedown with 14 seconds remaining.
