195-Tony Strasiser, NS, pinned Steve Meyers, :47.
Records: North Star 4-1; Conemaugh Township 1-3.
Analysis: A couple of interesting matchups here, with the best being at 120. Tayte Mostoler looked to be in control of the match with a 4-0 lead in the second period, but Kody Ofsanko came up with a headlock (from the bottom position) and the pin. The other one that really caught my attention was at 160 pounds. Ryan Grosik is a very unconventional wrestler and was able to cradle Austin Connor and pin him.
I've also posted results that I've gotten, taken from emails to me and the results published in The Tribune-Democrat.

132: Garrett Thomas, B, pinned Joseph Davis, 4:38.
Records: Bedford 7-2, Cambria Heights 4-2.
Analysis: A few good matchups here, with two of them coming at the end of the dual. Bedford was up 31-27 heading into those, with two of Cambria Heights' best wrestlers still to come. Problem was, the Bisons also had two of their best up as well. Ryan Easter beat Brad Thomas 10-4, who was a District 6 runner-up a year ago. At 132, Garrett Thomas pinned Joe Davis, who also was a D6 runner-up. The other highlight match came at 152, where Tanner Williams beat Levi Niebauer 3-1.

145: Derek Croyle, LV, pinned Michael Eckenrode, 1:50.
Records: Penn Cambria 8-3; Ligonier Valley 1-3.
Analysis: There was some big injury news on both sides of this dual. The good news was that Penn Cambria's Seth McLendon, who had been out since football season with leg injuries, returned to the mat and pinned Raymond Marsh at 220 pounds. The bad news came for Ligonier Valley, which was without Josh Patrick. I have been told that the Rutgers recruit has a knee injury that will keep him out a few weeks. Tough break for Patrick, who missed much of last year after he suffered an elbow injury, but still returned to place fifth in the state at 113 pounds. As far as the dual goes, it was all Penn Cambria in the upper weights and (almost) all Ligonier Valley in the lower weights.

160–Kody Williams, S, pinned Jacob Colbert :34.
Records: Forest Hills 4-2; Somerset 2-5.
Analysis: The struggles continue for Somerset, which hasn't been the same this season after losing so many talented wrestlers from last year's squad. The Golden Eagles had a bad matchup right off the bat, with Landon Lohr, one of Somerset's better wrestlers, getting pinned by Cody Law, who is ranked No. 1 in the state. The other highlight match for me would be at 120, where Triston Law beat Damian Jano 11-5.

Meyersdale 52, HOPE for Hyndman 27

195-Chris Merkel, H, forfeit.
220-James Bennett, H, forfeit.
285-Dylan Emerick, H, forfeit.
Analysis: Billy Dunbar's pin of Richard Moskey at 170 pounds is the result that jumps out at me from this match. Moskey won 27 matches last year and Dunbar was a regional qualifier. I would not have predicted a pin in this one. Meyersdale is struggling with injuries in its upper weights, and it will be tough for the Red Raiders to be at their best if they are giving up three forfeits there every week. That makes the fact that they hung with West Branch (40-32) and Bedford (44-23) at Everett's Bloody Run Duals last weekend.
