All the info you need on the Southwest Regional tournament

I spent six hours today working on a predictions column on www.tribdem.com.
I tried to look at results for each of the wrestlers and balance that out with past performances by individuals and teams. I also took my personal experiences into account, so it probably skews more heavily toward the guys I saw on a regular basis. Oh, and after going pretty close to the seedings in the lower weights, I probably got a little too crazy in terms of upsets in the upper weights.
I didn't do projections for a team champion, but I did a little calculating for the blog and came up with the following:
  • Berlin Brothersvalley and Chestnut Ridge each have six state qualifiers according to my projections (that's when realized I might have leaned too heavily on guys that I saw in person).
  • Derry, Jefferson-Morgan, South Fayette and Westmont Hilltop each have four qualifiers.
  • Jefferson-Morgan led the way with three finalists.
  • Only one team had two champions and that team probably won't figure into the team race.
Mark Dugan of Off the Mat made picks which appear alongside mine in The Tribune-Democrat. Joe Tuscano of the (Washington) Observer-Reporter picks the top three finishers at each weight on his blog. Ryan Spring said on his blog that he will have picks in Friday's Bedford Gazette, and I assume that Todd Irwin will have picks in the Altoona Mirror.

One the line(s): In case you haven't seen the brackets yet (where have you been?) here's a link to them. 
  ---
Live updates and chat: I plan to do a live chat similar to what I did last week for the District 5 tournament on The Tribune-Democrat website for both days of the regional tournament. Even if  you can get the live results elsewhere, I'd appreciate it if you can stop by and say hi, as the hits on our website help others at the newspaper see how important the wrestling community is to our coverage.
---
The schedule: Here's the schedule that the media was given: 
Friday
  • 4: 15 p.m. Doors open to public
  • 5 p.m. Opening round on five mats
  • 7:30 p.m. Quarterfinals on three mats; consolations on two mats
Saturday
  • 9:15 a.m. Doors open to public
  • 10 a.m. Second-round consolations on five  mats
  • 11:30 a.m. Semifinals and third-round consolations on five mats
  • 1:30 p.m. Fourth-round consolations on five mats
  • 4:45 p.m. Parade of champions
  • 5 p.m. Consolation finals and finals on three mats
It doesn't say as much, but I'd assume that the gym will be emptied after the fourth-round consolations.
Ticket prices are $3 for students for first and second sessions and $4 for finals; adults are $4 for first and second sessions and $6 for finals. All-session passes are available, although there is no discount, so it's $10 for students and $20 for adults.

Breaking down the Southwest Regional brackets

The brackets are now posted here. This is the first year that the tournament has expanded to 15 wrestlers at each weight, with District 7 getting 7, District 6 getting 5 (back up from the past few years) and District 5 getting 3.
A few Knotes:
  • Collin Glorioso of Huntingdon, who is No. 5 in the PA Power rankings, is the top seed at 120 pounds. His reward? A likely semifinal matchup with No. 4 Austin McDermitt of Burgettstown. Of course, the bottom half of the bracket is no picnic either, with No. 9 Brendan Howard of Jefferson-Morgan, who beat McDermitt in the District 7 finals, No. 12 Justin McCoy of Chestnut Ridge and No. 15 Carnell Andrews of Westmont Hilltop. McCoy and Andrews could meet in the quarters.
  • 126 has a pair of top-ranked wrestlers. PA Power has Bedford's Jon Gabriel, who is the top seed and draws the bye, at No. 1 while Off the Mat prefers Triston Law of Forest Hills, who is the second seed and has a first-round match. Law is third in the PA Power rankings while Gabriel is fourth according to OTM.
  • I know that no seeding formula is perfect, but you have to wonder about 145, where No. 3 seed Robby Patrick is ranked second in the state by PA Power. Patrick has beaten No. 1 seed Gio Vonne Sanders of Jeannette twice and owns a win over Travis Templeton of Forest Hills, who beat No. 2 seed Austin Hemminger of Somerset. Of course, the Ligonier Valley freshman could have helped himself if he didn't have earlier losses to Austin Mears of Mount Pleasant and Isaac Stewart of Marion Center, both of whom are in the weight. Still, with 13 consecutive wins, Patrick looks like the favorite to me.
  • 152 has Nos. 2, 3 and 4 in the PA Power rankings. South Park's Jake Wentzel is No. 2 and top-seeded and is followed by Huntingdon's Jacob Oliver and Chestnut Ridge's Trent Crouse in both the rankings and seeds.
  • 160 is loaded, with half of the state's top 10 wrestlers in the region, according to PA Power. The top half of the bracket has No. 1 Jared Walker of South Fayette, No. 5 Anthony Walters of Westmont Hilltop and No. 10 Jon Wagner of Huntingdon, who Walker could face after his first-round bye. The bottom half has No. 3 Drew Doak of Blairsville, No. 6 Bryce Fochtman of Berlin Brothersvalley and No. 9 Jason Stay of Beth-Center, who could meet Fochtman in the quarters.
  • 170 includes Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 8 according to PA Power with Levi Niebauer of Cambria Heights, Anthony Welsh of Beth-Center, Taylor Cahill of Berlin and Greg Bulsak of South Park. Personally, I'd list Bulsak as the favorite.
  • Seven of the top 13 220-pounders in the state are going to be in Canonsburg this weekend, according to PA Power, so someone pretty good will be sitting home. Buzzy Maines of West Branch is No. 1 while Jacob Robb of Kittanning, so the final could be a very good one, assuming they both get there. Robb could have to face No. 7 Tyler Oliver of United in the quarters and No. 6 Josiah Jones of Westmont Hilltop in the semis. Maines, meanwhile, could have No. 10 Tom Sever of Yough in the quarters and No. 11 Seth Hitchens of South Allegheny in the semis. Those scenarios don't even include No. 13 Mike Sinclair of Ellwood City - who Jones will face in the first round - or No. 20 Ty Smith of Meyersdale, who is the District 5 champ.
  • 285 has five of the top 12 ranked wrestlers according to PA Power ... and those are just the WPIAL guys. District 6 champ Andrew Deitman of United is the only other ranked wrestler, and he comes in at No. 25. Southern Huntingdon's Nick Winfield and Berlin Brothersvalley's Anthony Collins each had honorable mention status, but the rankings certainly make it look like District 7 could dominate here, especially at the top, with No. 1 Al Beattie of Burrell and No. 2 Jacob Beistel of Southmoreland.

District 5 brackets, updated with Knotes

The District 5 brackets are out here http://liveresults.escapesports.com/PIAA/2015-PIAA-District-V_AA.html

A few Knotes:
  • Chestnut Ridge has exactly half of the top seeds in the tournament – Aaron Burkett (106), Dylan Wiliams (113), Justin McCoy (120), Derrick Claar (138), Trent Crouse (152), Conner Buttry (195), Shane Davis (285). The other 11 teams in the district have seven combined.
  • If the seeds hold, Chestnut Ridge will advance 10 of 14 wrestlers, with Morgan Deremer (second at 132), Colby Hillegass (second at 160) and Luke Hobson (third at 126).
  • Berlin Brothersvalley has three of the non-Ridge top seeds – Joe Swank (132), Bryce Fochtman (160) and Taylor Cahill (170) – which isn't a surprise. Meyersdale also has three – Brady McKenzie (145), Chris Hutzell (182) and Ty Smith (220) – which is a surprise, to me, at least.
  • The Mountaineers would advance eight wrestlers if the seeds hold, with Storm McDonald (second at 182), Toby Cahill (second at 195), Shane Pepper (second at 220), Anthony Collins (second at 285) and Kane McKenzie (third at 138) as the other one.
  • The Red Raiders don't have any wrestlers other than their three top seeds projected to advance to Canonsburg.
  • Bedford is the only other team other than Chestnut Ridge, Berlin or Meyersdale with a top seed (Jon Gabriel). Daniel Brett would be the only other Bison advancing, if the seeds hold true.
  • Despite only having Tevin Mostoller (second at 145) ranked in the top two, North Star would have six wrestlers advancing if the seeds hold. Seeded third in their respective weights are Keaton Furry (106), Gus Strasiser (152), Dillion Charlton (160), Jon Thomas (182) and Hunter Connor (195).
  • Northern Bedford would have five wrestlers advance if the seeds hold true – second seeds Zach Clark (113), Jared Helsley (126), Carter Replogle (138) and Lucas Kolinchak (170) and third-seeded Trey Childers (120).
  • Somerset has just four in a position to advance – Quinn Cole (second at 120), Jon Fabian (second at 152), Austin Hemminger (third at 145), Logan Eller (third at 220). Interestingly, Fabian is up a weight class after wrestling all but one match at 145 all year. Hemminger, who spent most of the season at 152, is now down to 145. And Nate Zanoni, who started at heavyweight for most of the season, is out with an injury.
  • Everett has two wrestlers projected to advance – Liam Flaherty (third at 113) and Ben Stover (third at 132).
  • Tussey Mountain – Oaklee Brode (second at at 106) –  and HOPE For Hyndman – Brandon Griese (third at 285) – each have one.
  • Conemaugh Township and Shade are projected to get shut out of regionals.

District 6 regional qualifiers and recap

Unfortunately, due to a big project at work and a wild winter storm, I wasn't able to make it to the District 6 tournament in Altoona this weekend. Andy Elder covered the tournament for The Tribune-Democrat.
Complete brackets are available on the District 6 site. Here's a rundown of the regional qualifiers with my thoughts on the weight along with the top guy who won't be at regionals:

106
1. Logan Pirl, LV. 2. Derrick Christie, WH. 3. Huntur Campbell, CH. 4. Darren Yearick, PV. 5. Josh Boozel, MU.
Analysis: I didn't know anything about Pirl coming into the season, but he's been an impressive freshman. He made a name for himself by pinning top-seeded Campbell in the semis and beating Westmont's Derrick Christie in the finals.
Left out: Third-seeded Devon Brown of Tyrone was pinned by Boozel in the quarters, then lost 7-3 to Juniata's Tylynn Miller, who finished sixth, in the consis.

113
1. Max Murin, CC. 2. Nolan Link, PC. 3. Jake Keiper, FH. 4. Joseph Couteret, WB. 5. Izac Benson, HU.
Analysis: This one followed the seeds exactly. Murin beat Link in the finals, to avenge his lone loss of the season, which came in the finals at Bedford.
Left out: Mount Union's Andrew Todaro had a nice tournament from the 12 seed, as he beat No. 7 Clayton Dorian of Westmont Hilltop and No. 9 Bryce Campbell of Cambria Heights but fell just short, placing sixth.

120
1. Collin Glorioso, HU. 2. Carnell Andrews, WH. 3. Braedon Swab, CEN. 4. David Wiles, MC. 5. Tanner McCall, FH.
Analysis: Glorioso winning wasn't a surprise, but it looks like Andrews did a nice job, as the freshman pinned unbeaten Hunter Kern in the semifinals and dropped a 5-0 decision in the final.
Left out: Kern. The Juniata Valley sophomore won his first 24 matches of the season before losing his final three to finish sixth.
 
126
1. Triston Law, FH. 2. Curtis Decker, PV. 3. Ian Ostrowski, CC. 4. Brock Biddle, CEN. 5. Stephen Rouser, RI.
Analysis: Law was pretty dominant here. It looks like he only allowed a single point in the tournament - to Ostrowski in a 9-1 major in the semis.
Left out: Charlie Beatty, Marion Center. The freshman was the eighth seed, but beat No. 5 Alex Caldwell of Ligonier Valley.

132
1. Jake Boozel, MU. 2. Adam George, RI. 3. Richie Gilson, JU. 4. Jared Hurd, PV. 5. Drake Dorian, WH.
Analysis: This one surprised me. I saw Boozel struggle at Bedford and George has been remarkably consistent. Dorian getting out was also a surprise for me. The senior came in as the ninth seed, but he beat No. 10 Devon Walker of United, who had knocked off No. 5 Hunter Parks of West Branch, and then beat No. 4 Ethan Kennedy of Central.
Left out: Kennedy. The Central sophomore was the fourth seed and dropped a 4-3 decision to top-seeded George of the semis, but then lost 6-3 to Hurd and 4-2 to Dorian.

138
1. Tommy Opdenhoff, CC. 2. Dalton Clark, LV. 3. Nick Hoenstine, CEN. 4. Tyler Scott, HU. 5. Robbie Steel, MU.
Analysis: Clark was the top seed, but as I said earlier, I really liked the winner of the semi between Opdenhoff and Hoenstine to win this one.
Left out: Michael Stewart, Marion Center. There are quite few here - No. 4 Jacob Confer of Penns Valley and sixth-place finisher Zach Stephens of Penn Cambria come to mind - but the Stingers sophomore suffered a couple of tough losses. The No. 11 seed, Stewart beat Stephens before falling, 3-0 to Hoenstine. He also lost 3-2 to Steel, showing that he was right in matches with place-winners.

145
1. Robby Patrick, LV. 2. Isaac Stewart, MC. 3. Larry Brown, MV. 4. Travis Templeton, FH. 5. Seth Baney, HU.
Analysis: Patrick turned the tables on Stewart, who had beaten him earlier in the season. Brown did the same against Templeton, who beat him in the quarters but won their consi final match.
Left out: Mike Eckenrode, Penn Cambria. The No. 5 seed would have been good enough to make it out of most weights, but not this weekend in the deepest weight in the tournament. He lost twice to Baney, including by fall in the fifth-place match, and won't be going to regionals despite having beaten Patrick earlier in the season.

152
1. Jacob Oliver, HU. 2. Dominic Farabaugh, PC. 3. Andrew Hurd, PV. 4. Bryce Biddle, CEN. 5. Brent Troutman, JV.
Analysis: No surprise at the top, as Oliver is one of the studs of the tournament. Farabaugh hung with him in the district duals, losing 5-2, but it was a major this time. Farabaugh came into the tournament with just a 13-8 record, but a few quality wins got him the third seed, and he showed that he was better than his record with a 13-3 major of second-seeded Hurd in the semis.
Left out: Kris Smeal, West Branch. The fifth seed was pinned by Biddle and Hurd, then dropped a 12-6 decision to sixth-seeded Troutman for the final regional spot.


160
1. Drew Doak, BL. 2. Andrew Walters, WH. 3. Jon Wagner, HU. 4. Clayton Green, WB. 5. Ryan Thomas, MV.
Analysis: I was asked on Saturday evening how I thought a Doak-Walters final would go. I said I thought Walters could slow down Doak, but probably not enough to win, and anticipated a 3-2 Doak win. It turned out to be pretty close to that, as Doak didn't get the takedown I expected until overtime in a 3-1 victory. It was the 150th career win and fourth D6 title for Doak, so it says something about the freshman from Westmont that he was able to go toe-to-toe with the Blairsville senior.
Left out: Exree Loe, Greater Johnstown. The eighth seed had a chance to be the Trojans' first regional qualifier in AA, but lost in tiebreaker to Mo Valley's Thomas. He also dropped a 3-2 decision to Green, the fourth-place finisher.

170
1. Levi Niebauer, CH. 2. Luke Slippey, WB. 3. Nick Pecze, BL. 4. Jake Driskel, PC. 5. Zach Mock, BA.
Analysis: Not too many surprises at the top. 1-2 went according to seeds while 3-4 flip-flopped. Driskel doesn't get much attention, but the Penn Cambria junior has had a nice season. Mock was a surprise in the fifth spot, as he came from the eighth seed.
Left out: Ty Treaster, Juniata. The fifth-seeded senior got pinned by Pecze in the quarters and then pinned again by Central Cambria's Caliber Castel in the consis.

182
1. Corey Hazel, PV. 2. Scott Carbaugh, SH. 3. Taylor Foster, JU. 4. Dalton Waksmunski, CH. 5. Josh Wilson, BA.
Analysis: Statewide, I think this is the weakest weight. Hazel was second according to the most recent Off the Mat rankings, so I expected him to cruise through this bracket, but he only beat Foster 4-3 and Carbaugh - a surprise finalist from the sixth seed - 6-3. Other than a 4-3 victory over No. 3-ranked Dakota Geer of Franklin, Saturday's decisions marked the first time in two months that Hazel hadn't gotten bonus points. Waksmunski, the No. 10 seed, put together a nice tournament with a victory over second-seeded Wilson and a pair of wins over No. 7 Brad Smith of Marion Center.
Left out: Logan Fisher, Huntingdon. The third seed was 13th in the state according to Off the Mat, but was edged, 4-3, by Carbaugh in the quarters, then lost 3-2 to Wilson in the consis.

195
1. Scott Thompson, BL. 2. Vince McDowell, WB. 3. Cody Hamilton, MV. 4. Richard Reader, TY. 5. Matt Norris, HU.
Analysis: No surprise at the top, as Thompson joined 160-pound teammate Drew Doak as a four-time champ and picked up his second straight OW award. He pinned McDowell in the finals, his third fall in four bouts on the weekend. Reader kind of came from nowhere. He was the 10th seed and had only wrestled nine matches entering the tournament - although he did win eight of them. He pinned sixth-seeded Dennis Link of Cambria Heights and majored No. 4 Adam Rigney of Mount Union in the consis.
Left out: Rigney, Mount Union. I haven't seen Rigney at all, but he came in with a 20-4 record and reached the semis. His was the only guy to go 6 minutes with Thompson on the weekend, but his 14-7 defeat was the first of three straight losses, which will keep from from attending the regional tournament in Canonsburg.

220
1. Buzzy Maines, WB. 2. Josiah Jones, WH. 3. Tyler Oliver, UN. 4. Mason Hockenberry, MU. 5. Raymond Carlheim, GL. 
Analysis: For me, Josiah Jones is the story of the tournament. I thought the Westmont freshman might be able to hang with Oliver, who was a D6 champ last season and a state place-winner; I didn't expect Jones to beat him in the semis. And I certainly didn't expect him to hang with Buzzy Maines, who is one of the most dominant guys I've seen in AA this season and deserving of his No. 1 ranking in the state. I knew that Jones, who missed the first part of the season while recovering from a knee injury, was good, but this was a really impressive showing, even if he only finished one spot above his No. 3 seed.
Left out: Tyler Elder, Claysburg-Kimmel. The Bulldogs will be shut out of regionals, as the fifth-seeded Elder lost by fall to the sixth-seeded Carlheim for the final spot.

285
1. Andrew Deitman, UN. 2. Nick Winfield, SH. 3. Kody Ness, GL. 4. Stevie Colyer, TY. 5. Jake Smith, BL.
Analysis: This went pretty close to expectations. Deitman, the second seed, beat top-seeded Winfield in the ultimate tiebreaker - shocking for heavyweights, I know. 3-4-5 went as expected.
Left out: Hussein Sbeitan, Westmont Hilltop. The Westmont senior, who could have wrestled 220, won 14 matches in just his second year of wrestling and was just one spot short of qualifying for regionals.

Team race
1. Huntingdon (175). 2. West Branch (157). 3. Westmont Hilltop (135.5). 4. Penns Valley (134.5). Blairsville (129.5). 
Analysis: I would have pegged Huntingdon as the favorite with West Branch in the mix. I believe it was actually pretty close until the placement rounds. Westmont's four freshmen runners-up made a big difference for the Hilltoppers. I wouldn't have expected a top-five finish from Penns Valley, which had a rough year in duals, but the Rams have some solid individuals. I was surprised Central slipped to seventh and Forest Hills was all the way down to No. 14. Glendale, which finished 19th, looks like it could be a program on the upswing.
