Looks like CRS is getting healthy at the right time.

Thanks Aragorn. Solid win for CRS over Boyertown. Interesting that Methacton didn't qualify for states, but gave CRS their toughest match.
Let's be honest, it"s ridiculous that D11 only gets 2 teams in and D1 gets 4 teams in. I understand the numbers issue, but D11 deserves at least 3 teams. Northampton is not going to states, but might beat every squad from D1.
Instant classic! This tournament almost always delivers great duals. Pierson, O'Grady, Nate Stefanik, and Keifer all heros for the Blue Eagles. Studs delivered for both sides, but Naz won every toss up but 195.
Beca also got pins from both Nazareth kids in their lineup, imagine how loaded this Nazareth team would be with Papscy and Camacho in their lineup. Throw in Mike Madera from Blair and it could be a top 3 team nationally.
What a match. Just looked like DeSanto wanted it more. Congrats DWest Doug Zapf 106 lb winner. Look out for the Lucerne boy from CRN, only a freshman. Battled Zapf in the SE region final last week losing 3-1. Nice twist to that story Luke is the son of David, nephew of John-both state qualifiers for Downingtown back in the 80's, both wrestled in college at Rider.He had that big brace on and apparently his dad said it after the match. Either way, DeSanto came to wrestle and looked awesome. Has to be the biggest upset in state history.
How about the all D11 final at 125? Kind of crazy that Lizak and Cruz never wrestled in high school despite being around the same size, in the same conference, and 10 miles apart.
It'll be D11's 18th national championship and 12th different wrestler to win one. Cruz is Becahi's 7th finals appearance, 5th different finalist, and would be their first champ since Santoro (now Cruz's head coach) won his second in 1989. Cruz would join Santoro and Tom Sculley as champs from Becahi, joining Liberty as the only LV schools with 3 different NCAA champs, and would tie Easton with 4 total titles.
Lizak is Parkland's second finalist, joining 2x runner up Jon Trenge in '01 and '02. Trenge was one of Lizak's coaches in high school. If Lizak wins, he would make Parkland the 8th different Lehigh Valley school with a national championship.
