Review and Preview - Jan. 26

   We're a day late on the usual Monday weekly posting, but with nothing going on this past weekend due to the snowstorm that dropped 2-3 feet in some areas, all athletic events were called off.
   So there's nothing to recap (I had given myself the weekend off anyway), but a lot to look forward to and that begins tonight at Bedford, as Westmont-Hilltop pays a visit in what will be a match for the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference championship.
   Bedford is 7-0 and Westmont is 6-1 in the league. Obviously, a Bison win means an unbeaten LHAC record and the title on this side of the mountain. I don't have time to do a bout by bout preview, but you can check out Eric Knopsnyder's page (Wrestling PA) for more on each team's lineup.
   Like Eric, I wouldn't call myself an expert either, but we do share similar views on the match. He has Bedford winning in the 40-25 range, while my first look at it showed Bedford 38, Westmont-Hilltop 26.
   One thing I would point out is if you are coming to the match, plan on arriving early with the parking situation, something that tends to be an issue under normal conditions at Bedford. The high school lot appears pretty clear from the recent snow, but the streets around the school are narrower than usual and surely that will account for less parking available on the street. This probably bears true for the Thomas Subaru Tournament this weekend, so keep that in mind as well. Luckily for myself and maybe some others, I live close enough to be able to walk (And no, I don't have any extra parking spots to sell you, sorry).
   I would expect Twitter to be very active tonight, and you can follow me at @r_spring21, or check out @Bedfordwrestle or @WestySports for possible updates.
