Here's a recap of the interesting things I saw in semifinal round. Complete results from Day 2 are below it.

• Big win for Chestnut Ridge at 113 as Blake Dunlap, who lost twice to Berlin's Tommy DeArmitt, pinned the No. 2 seed this time. I think DeArmitt tried to roll through with a cradle and ended up in a headlock, but Dunlap had been leading by a point or two for most of the match. That will be a big one in the team standings, though I expect Ridge to pull away this round.
• Bedford's Kyle Mehle, the sixth seed at 120, landed a surprising spot in the finals by beating Everett's Ben Stover 11-8. Stover, the seventh seed, was leading in the third, but Mehle got a headlock for a reversal and three backpoints.
• The result of Stover and Mehle being in the semifinals was that second-seeded Robby Snyder of Hyndman and third-seeded Dylan Park of Tussey Mountain met in the third round of consolations. Park scored a late reversal for an 8-7 victory.
• Northern Bedford's Jared Helsley scored a takedown in the final seconds to beat Berlin Brothersvalley's E.J. Custer 3-1 and earn a spot in the 126-pound final. 
• Another No. 2 seed goes down - this one in dominating fashion - as Bedford's Jake Warren major decisions Conemaugh Township's Kody Ofsanko at 126. Bedford is looking like a real contender for second place. Not sure there's enough there to overtake Ridge, though. 
• Bedford's Ryan Easter wasn't quite as dominant as we're used to, but had a fairly comfortable 11-3 victory over Somerset's Austin Hemminger at 126, a first-period headlock attempt by Hemmingter not withstanding.
• Meyersdale's Tanner Hetrick picked up his 100th career victory and a spot in the 126 final with an 8-1 victory over Ridge's Sam Shank.
• A bit of a surprise at 138, not in the winner but in how close it was. Chestnut Ridge's Derrick Claar beat Berlin's Storm McDonald 9-4, but it was much tighter than that. McDonald took Claar down twice and it was a two-point match before Claar got an escape and takedown in the third period. 
• The 145-pound semifinals were supposed to be the highlight of the round, but I was very disappointed, at least in the top half of the bracket. Unfortunately, they were both on at the same time, so I didn't see much of Trent Crouse's 6-1 victory over Meyersdale's Seth Deist. Braden Fochtman's pin of Toby Brett turned out to be a clunker. There were a couple of very good flurries, but after the first in the first period, neither wrestler did much of anything. At all. For most of the match. I was really disappointed in the official, Jarrett Musselman, who refused to hit either (really both) wrestlers for stalling even though they stood in the center of the mat and looked at one another for at least a full minute of the match time. Another scramble or two ensued on the edge, but mostly they just stood and stared. To be fair to the wrestlers, I would guess it was because Brett was almost pinned in a scramble in the first period and then Fochtman nearly ended up on his back at the end of it. I think both were afraid to try anything. That's why it's on the official to make them go on the attack. Eventually, Fochtman took a shot, lifted Brett, took him to his back and pinned him with 4 seconds remaining, but the score was 1-1 to that point and featured very little action.  
• Finally something to get excited about. The 170-pound match between Landon Lohr and Dillion Charlton was fantastic fun. Charlton led 4-2, Lohr rallied to take the lead but Charlton got a late locking-hands call to send it to OT. There were about five calls on the edge that were very difficult, but (I thought) well made. In the end, Lohr let Charlton shoot in on his leg, elevated and pinned him with 10 seconds left in OT. The most I've seen the fans into a match here in awhile. Certainly the most entertaining of the weekend so  far. 
• I didn't see 182, but Meyersdale's Gavin Berkley pinned Berlin's Shane Pepper. Chestnut Ridge's Conner Buttry had a closer match (4-2) than I would have guessed with Bedford's Chance Williams.
• I was interested to see how Toby Cahill's match with Logan Eller went at 195. In the dual, Cahill hit a headlock and pinned Eller. Low and behold,he hit a headlock again. It wasn't enough for a pin this time, but it did give him the winning margin in his 9-4 victory.

District 5 results through quarterfinals

Quarterfinals ended at 6:30 and I am leaving. Word is that cementjob.com has audio on it.

• The 120-pound bracket has had two upsets, as sixth-seeded Kyle Mehle of Bedford beat Tussey Mountain's Dylan Park 8-6. Moments later, Everett's Ben Stover pinned second-seeded Robby Snyder of Hyndman.
• Not sure how tight the team race will be, but Berlin got a big win at 126, as E.J. Custer pinned Morgan Deremer. Deremer had beaten Custer twice in dual meets.
• Berlin gets another big reversal of fortune at 138. Storm McDonald lost to Brady McKenzie of Meyersdale three times during the regular season but turned a first-period headlock into a 5-4 victory.
• Another No. 3 seed goes down at 160, as Chestnut Ridge's Colby Hillegass knocks off North Star's Gus Strasiser, 4-2 in tiebreaker. Both fans were a bit unhappy with official Mike Eichelberger. North Star fans thought Strasiser had two backpoints late in the third period, but the ruling was a pair of one-counts. Then, in the first overtime period, Hillegass was in deep on a shot but ended up with Strasiser on his back for a potentially dangerous call that Ridge fans didn't like. In the end, Hillegass got a reversal in the second half of the tiebreaker for the win. 
• Somerset's Landon Lohr notched his 100th career victory in impressive style, recording a technical fall over Everett's Waylon Brennan in just 2:23. 
• Berlin gets its third "revenge" match of the round, as Shane Pepper beats North Star's Hunter Connor 6-5 at 182. Connor had won their first two matches this season. 
• North Star's Thomas Miller gets the "drama king" award for the quarterfinals. He fell behind Meyersdale's Tristan Deal in the final minute, but ended up with a takedown and two backpoints at the buzzer for a dramatic victory. (Scoreboard said 6-2, but that could not have been right). 
• Chestnut Ridge gets a big pin over Berlin at 220, as No. 5 Shane Davis pins No. 4 Nate Zanoni.

District 5 seeding controversy

As I noted last night, the District 5 brackets are out for this weekend's tournament. I still don't have enough time to do a detailed analysis of them, but I've had enough people ask me about the 145-pound bracket to make it worth a quick post.
The burning question is: How can Berlin's Braden Fochtman be the No. 1 seed when he was beaten not once but twice by Chestnut Ridge's Trent Crouse?
I know, it seems illogical at best. The simple answer is, the system says that head-to-head results are only taken into account if the difference between two wrestlers' point totals is 15 or less. With Fochtman and Crouse, they weren't even close. Fochtman had 240 points, compared with 175 for Crouse, so it wasn't even close.
What's more amazing is that Fochtman, from what I've been told, would have been the top seed in the entire tournament at any weight. One coach told me that Fochtman's 240 points were more than Austin Buttry, who beat three state placewinners, and Ryan Easter, who was a state runner-up last season. Taylor Cahill also was over 200 points, which was a number that I was told only Nick Roberts had topped in the past few years.
I'm baffled as to how Berlin's wrestlers could have accrued so many points with what certainly looked like a much weaker schedule than Chestnut Ridge's. Both teams were in the Thomas tournament. There was some good competition at the Sheetz Holiday Classic and one or two decent matches at the Redbank Valley tournament and the Mountaineer Duals, but those don't compare to Ridge's schedule, which includes the Brookville Ultimate Duals and POWERade.
Seedings are always difficult, and Berlin was on the other end of this a few years ago when Jacob Craig was the second seed to Bedford's Jacob Krupa, who he had beaten twice. I understand why the system requires points to be taken into consideration for head-to-head to matter. Since Nick Roberts came up earlier in the post, let's use him for a hypothetical example. Say he was wrestling a .500 wrestler but had an injury that forced him to default or that he got caught in a headlock and pinned by the hypothetical average wrestler. Should he, a two-time state champ heading into districts, have been the second seed because of that? I think we could all understand that he shouldn't. But those are very rare scenarios that don't occur often, if at all. Scenarios like the Fochtman-Crouse one seem to happen more often.

District 5 brackets

There were some delays in getting the District 5 brackets, but they're finally online now at http://liveresults.escapesports.com/PIAA/2014-PIAA-District-V_AA.html#.
Unfortunately, I can't really look at them or analyze them now. Maybe later in the week.

District 6 AA results and thoughts from Day 1

I wasn't able to make it to the first day of the District 6 AA tournament in Altoona, but I should be there today.
I'm not going to list all of the results, since you can find the brackets here. My guess is that those will not be updated until late Saturday night. But I will be typing in results throughout the day and updating them regularly on another blog post, assuming that the necessary technology cooperates.
Yesterday went almost completely according to seed. The biggest upset (by seeding) was at 132, where 10th-seeded Josh Gould of Forest Hills beat No. 2 Zach Stevens of Penn Cambria 10-3 in the quarterfinals. But I think most people saw that weight as one without a dominant top four, so it's hard to call it a major upset.
One result that did surprise me was at 145, where Marion Center's Isaac Stewart (No. 6) beat third-seeded Parker Bumbarger of West Branch 5-0. I knew that Stewart was a quality wrestler and thought that the sixth seed was low for him, but I didn't see him knocking off Bumbarger.
An even bigger surprise for me was Ligonier Valley's Raymond Marsh, the sixth seed at 220, beating United's Seth McLendon. I wouldn't have even considered that, but Marsh won 4-3 against the regional qualifier from last season.
It was a rough ending to the quarterfinal round for United, as heavyweight Andrew Deitman lost to Moshannon Valley's Jack Bunnell in one of the more intriguing matchups of Day 1. Bunnell was the fourth seed and Deitman the fifth, so it wasn't necessarily an upset, but with five quality heavyweights and only four spots advancing, it could play a key role in who gets to Johnstown.

Change in District 6 AA bracket

There has been at least one change in the District 6 bracket.
Westmont Hilltop's Logan Blackburn and West Branch's Wyatt Sankey have swapped spots in the 113-pound bracket. As I pointed out in an earlier post, Blackburn didn't seem like he should have been the fourth seed.
Apparently, there was a mistake in calculating Sankey's points and Blackburn should have been the third seed all along.
The way I see it, this is good for wrestling as a whole. No disrespect intended toward Sankey, but I believe that Blackburn is probably the second-best wrestler in the weight to top-seeded Collin Glorioso of Huntingdon. With the original brackets, they would have met in the semifinals. This way, Blackburn will (likely) have the opportunity to wrestle second-seeded Brock Biddle of Central in the semifinals. I think that's the better semifinal matchup than Sankey-Biddle and the right one for the weight class.

District 6 individual brackets

The individual brackets for District 6 Class AA were released last night and posted on the District 6 wrestling website.
I don't have time to go over all of the brackets, but here a couple of quick observations on first glance:

• Westmont Hilltop's Logan Blackburn seems better than a fourth seed at 113 to me. It's hard for me to believe that someone who places at POWERade will be fourth in District 6. I think he's probably the second-best wrestler at the weight. Unfortunately, he'll likely meet Huntingdon's Collin Glorioso in the semifinals.
• The 126-pound bracket is looking very tough. Richland's Adam George is the top seed and has been very impressive this season while second-seeded Joe Davis of Cambria Heights is a two-time district runner-up. The depth is very good, with Penns Valley's Jared Hurd only getting a sixth seed despite a 22-8 record. In all, 11 wrestlers have a .500 record or better.
• Point systems can do some crazy things. For instance, Marion Center's Isaac Stewart is the sixth seed at 145 despite a 24-3 record. Samuel Ohler at 18-13 is the fifth seed.
• Not that it should matter, but I'm surprised that Tyler Oliver of United is only the third seed at 195 pounds. I can see him being seeded behind Tyrone's Jared Beckwith, although they have split two matches this year, but I am stunned that Mount Union's Phil Kyle. As I said, it shouldn't matter since they likely will meet in semifinals.
• At least one good heavyweight won't be making it to regionals. This is probably the most top-heavy (no pun intended) weight in the tournament. Mount Union's Nik Smith, Cambria Heights' Aaron Gill, West Branch's Morgan Selepack, Moshannon Valley's Jack Bunnell and United's Andrew Deitman are the top five seeds. All are impressive, but with only four spots in Johnstown, someone will go home disappointed.

What do you think? Who got a good seed? Who got hosed? Let me know by leaving a comment.

Collins playing stayaway through most of the first before Buttry bulled him down for a pair. Buttry stood up easily to start the second. Buttry tumbled Collins to the mat again to make it 5-0. Collins scored an escape out of a restart, before Buttry tripped him up again. A Collins escape wrapped up the second-period scoring.

District 5 Duals Live results

I won't be able to make it to Chestnut Ridge today, as someone very close to us got some bad health news and, as much as we (OK, I) love wrestling, it was more important to us to be with him today.
With that being said, I'll be trying to find results all day long, as will many of you. Shawn Curtis, sports editor of The Tribune-Democrat will be covering the action and providing live updates, at least for the finals.
All season I've thought it was a given that it Chestnut Ridge and Berlin Brothersvalley would meet in the finals, but the closer we get to it the more I wonder how much trouble Berlin will have with Bedford. Brian Creps and his staff are some of the best around at getting the matchups they need to win duals and the Bisons do a great job of getting their underdogs to avoid giving up bonus points. No, this isn't an attempt to suck up to the Bedford people who were upset with me earlier in the week, just a hunch that the semifinal will be closer than I initially imagined.
No matter which team advances, I'd pick Chestnut Ridge to win the final and represent District 5.
Best of luck to all and, like so many of you, I'll be checking back here regularly to see how it's going at Chestnut Ridge.

UPDATE: Arrived toward the end of the Berlin Brothersvalley-Bedford semifinal. Chestnut Ridge advanced to the final with ease, beating Somerset 61-12. Berlin got by Bedford 33-23 to set up the final for approximately 2 p.m. Will update with box scores momentarily.
