The District 5 Duals open tonight with two matches. Third seed Berlin hosts sixth seed Northern Bedford, and fourth seed Somerset is home with fifth seed North Star. Both matches are set for 7 p.m.
Defending champion Chestnut Ridge is the top seed and will host the semifinals and final on Saturday. Bedford is the second seed and also receives a bye into the weekend.
Below is a closer look at each of tonight's matchups:
(6) Northern Bedford at (3) Berlin
— Northern Bedford wrestlers listed first —
106 - Fr. Zach Clark (9-10) vs. Fr. Kyle Boyce (11-14)
113 - Jr. Trey Childers (11-8) vs. Sr. Tommy DeArmitt (23-5)
120 - So. Jon Raab (6-5) vs. So. Joe Swank (22-2)
126 - Jr. Jared Helsley (18-8) vs. Sr. E.J. Custer (14-7)
132 - Fr. Carter Replogle (12-7) vs. Jr. Kane McKenzie (21-12)
138 - So. Ridge Hershberger (12-8) vs. So. Storm McDonald (17-12)
145 - So. Austin Heck (6-10) or Sr. Collin Sherlock (0-1) vs. So. Braden Fochtman (28-3)
152 - Sr. Chris Eichelberger (14-7) vs. Jr. Taylor Cahill (26-2)
160 - Jr. Ty Bechtel (4-5) or So. Dakota Brunner (1-5) vs. Jr. Bryce Fochtman (24-4)
170 - So. Lucas Kolinchak (18-5) vs. Jr. Trevor Moore (10-7)
182 - So. Mason Guyer (17-7) vs. Jr. Shane Pepper (17-9)
195 - TBA vs. Fr. Toby Cahill (20-8)
220 - TBA vs. Sr. Stew Trulick (21-3)
285 - Jr. Chase Ott (8-11) vs. So. Anthony Collins (21-7)
Analysis: A weather postponement from Tuesday night allowed North Star, who wrestled and won, to jump Northern Bedford, who didn't and sat tight, into fifth in the seedings, dropping the Black Panthers into a tougher match at Berlin. Straight up, the host Mountaineers would be favorites at 113, 120, 132, 145, 152, 160, 195, 220, and 285. Northern has been forfeiting 195 and 220 recently and didn't have anyone compete there at the Thomas Subaru Tournament last weekend. Hard to see the Bedford County side making this one close, as Kolinchak at 170 might be the Panthers' only clear-cut favorite in the match.
Prediction: Berlin, 49-14.
(5) North Star at (4) Somerset
— North Star wrestlers listed first —
106 - Sr. Lenny Beeman (15-11) vs. Fr. Quinn Cole (15-7)
113 - So. Eric Colangelo (5-9) vs. Jr. Kat Luteri (3-7)
120 - Sr. Colton Gennett (16-11) vs. Sr. Damian Jano (14-10)
126 - So. Brady Gardner (11-18) vs. Sr. Garret Foster (3-5)
132 - Jr. Michael Baker (15-13) vs. Fr. Austin Hemminger (11-9)
138 - Jr. Tevin Mostoller (25-10) or Fr. Kyle Supanick (1-0) vs. Jr. Jon Fabian (15-6)
145 - Mostoller or Sr. Corey Fritch (23-9) vs. Jr. Sheldon Wagner (13-7)
152 - Fritch or So. Gus Strasiser (25-9) vs. Sr. Mike Laue (13-6) or Jr. Bailey Phillips (3-1)
160 - Strasiser or So. Dillion Charlton (21-6) vs. Laue or Jr. Dan Talley (2-6)
170 - Charlton or Sr. Mason Jamieson (3-3) vs. Sr. Landon Lohr (14-4)
182 - Jr. Hunter Connor (22-9) vs. Sr. Casey Pyle (4-10)
195 - Sr. Kevin Horner (18-12) vs. Jr. Logan Eller (17-3)
220 - Sr. Thomas Miller (7-7) vs. Fr. Jack Hause (10-8)
285 - Jr. Brady Vinisky (11-18) vs. Jr. Jarrett McKenzie (0-1)
Analysis: This should be a pretty interesting match. The lower weights on paper appear to be a lot of toss-ups, as are a couple up top. North Star had Mostoller, Fritch, Strasiser, and Charlton from 145-170 in that order at last weekend's Thomas Subaru Tournament. North Star's Colangelo didn't compete at the event, while Somerset's McKenzie didn't either. The Cougars should have the edge at 182, while the Golden Eagles would at 195. I haven't seen much of either team this year, but I'll take the visitors here.
Prediction: North Star, 31-24.
