The March Mat Factory Wrestlers of the Month are our 3 State Medalists. Burrell’s Dakota DesLauriers dominated his way into the PIAA State AA Finals, but had to settle for runner-up in his Junior year after a hard-fought 6-4 loss to Wes Phipps of Grove City for the Title. Dakota ended his Junior campaign with a 42-1 |
| record. Defending PIAA Champion Jason Nolf of Kittanning was stopped short in his quest for his second title in the State AA Semi-finals in a closely-contested bout with Ryan Diehl of Trinity HS, the eventual Champion, regrouped and battled back for a 3rd place finish at this year’s State Tournament. Tyler Smith of Franklin Regional HS, pictured above, lost in the quarter final round to eventual champion Godwin Nyama of Brashear, and fought his way back through the consolation bracket to secure a 5th place spot on the 120 lbs. podium in the AAA State Tournament. Coach Greeley and Como are very proud of your accomplishments, gentlemen and only foresee the minor ‘bumps’ in the road that you may have encountered at the State tournament as motivation as you again prepare on the quest to win State Gold. Congratulations again!! |
