    2026 PIAA postseason

    I've seeded hundreds of tournaments over the years, and I don't obsess over who's 1 and who's 2, unless it makes the bracket unbalanced. Separation is far more important than seeding. I can look at a bracket and tell whether it was well seeded or not, regardless of the number next to the kid's...

    Non-PSU Recruiting

    How committed to wrestling are they at Central Catholic? Seriously? That's the key. If Central Catholic wants to be a wrestling powerhouse, they could be within two to three years. 3A is there for the taking. I don't think they want to be. The SEC could be the nation's premier wrestling...

    '25 Ironman Tournament (12/12-14) thread

    Michael White should have won it. He beat my No. 2, 3 and 6 wrestlers entering the tournament - against whom he was 0-3 during the summer and fall.
