Notes
   - Have heard Teasdale at 106 is an absolute stud, and I've seen him much higher in other polls, so a little surprised here that he's the third PA wrestler ranked there. Murin won a D6 and SW Region title before placing fifth at AA states. Parker, one spot above, lost in his SE AAA regional quarterfinal and didn't get to states last season. I realize that most of these magazines/websites utilize offseason events as ranking criteria, so maybe Parker's done something big that I don't know about.

   - Remember that Bethlehem Catholic is up in AAA this season and next, so Karam and Dunn will be wrestling in college before the locals have to deal with them again.

   - Nice to see the region (meaning D5 and D6) represented well with Murin, Hidlay, Hollingshead, and Maines.

   - Not sure if Rogers is a legit 285 in weight since he went the prep school way, but I remember the former Penns Valley standout competing more in the 170-182 range a couple of years ago.
