2026 PIAA postseason

I knew a girl in High School by the name of...Pompy Blueballs.
I always wondered if her parents were high when they named her.
I'm thinking by that time, half the boys in Iowa will be named Carl.
Does anyone recall how long last year's PIAA finals sessions took? Pondering if I can pull off getting down there for the finals and the back for Big Ten semis tomorrow. For reference, I'm only 15-20 from Hershey.
Grew up next to a Santamaria family. Oldest boy taught us how to make tennis ball can flaming mortars
It's a big upset. Wolford last year beat Albanese and twice came within a whisker of beating Bachmann.
And another huge upset, defending state champ and future tan deadlifter Nick Singer goes down.
Yeah, I was thinking 2h30m to be on the overestimated side, which would have it ending around 6:30, 6 at best. Hmm. We'll see.
It wouldn’t be another day without Flo kissing Bassett’s a**.
Good grief. There are so many other accomplished wrestlers in this tournament. Adam Waters is on a quest to be a four timer. Maybe make him the guy on the feed promo?
Nah, he's going to Ohio State. Put 3x champ Keanu Dillard on the cover.It wouldn’t be another day without Flo kissing Bassett’s a**.
Anyone else is fine with me. I have Bassett exhaustion at this point and FLO slobbers all over him daily. I guess next year they move on to make Keegan out to be the next Kolat.
...or at least whether Mrs. Blueballs was when she accepted Mr. Blueballs' proposal of marriage...
("I'm ... er... a liberated woman, and honey....I think I'm going to ... uh... continue to go by my maiden name.")
He took the Nick Lee/Levi Haines year at NLWC.
In the battle of the Roccos, Allegretto beats Reifer 4-1 in 172 consys.
Fun match. Enjoyed watching Horwat. Stylistically very similar to how I wrestled, but he's actually good!
Damn. Will Edwards also lost in the consy. Getting harder and harder to compete in D6, but 2 BEA guys in semis and The kid from Tyrone there also
That’s a huge upset. Singer was ranked #1 in the country to start the season. I think he’s still top 4
Posting a rumor here:
Some interesting rumblings out of Hershey that Jayden O'Farrill (McCort Wrestler and #5 Big Board in 2028, was injured this year and missed the season) is leaving McCort and moving to State College HS to train under Jason Nickal and also workout at NLWC. Goes without saying this also more or less means his commitment to PSU is basically done (would obviously not be official for a bit since he's only a sophomore)
Also was told don't be surprised if this is the first of many that do something similar. Stillwater has a farm system and there's no reason State College shouldn't either.

D6 is having a great tourney. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the most semifinalists.
He's on Dice's spreadsheet at 185. The recruiting spreadsheet is pinned ner the top. great resource.
I really like O’Farrill. He impressed me this summer winning Fargo and beating Tsarni in the finals. He is super short though which is tough in the upper weights. Ryder and Arnold are examples but I think O’Farrill has more offense then both of them
Is the move to State College HS and compete for them or move to State College and train at the NLWC like Lee/Haines/Kasak/Ryder with taking HS classes online? If the intention is to compete for SCHS, how will the PIAA view this? Will he be eligible? Because, god forbid, a kid move for athletics in the public school system, but transfer to a private school with a sports pipeline mentality and it’s fine.
