This weekend, the PJW State tournament was held in Johnstown. Our Jr High team had five kids qualify for the tournament.
Jonah Kiner, Easton Stonebraker, Zander Hartman, Liam Snook, and Dom Peters.
Jonah Kiner - went 2-2. He wrestled like an absolute monster throughout the tournament but fell short just before the blood round.
Easton Stonebraker - went 0-2. He wrestled tough but unfortunately came up short. The competition at this tournament is incredibly tough.
Zander Hartman - also went 0-2. He had an uphill battle from the start. In his first match, he wrestled a kid from Bishop McCort, which sent him to the consolation bracket. Unfortunately, his next match was tough, and he lost out of the tournament.
Liam Snook - went 2-2. He wrestled in the championship bracket until he met a kid from Bishop McCort in the quarterfinals, which sent him to the consolation bracket. From there, he won his next match but lost in the blood round. Despite his loss, he still managed to secure a top 12 finish in the State tournament.
Dom Peters - had a 2-2 record. He won his first match but unfortunately lost his second match, which sent him to the consis. From there, it was an uphill battle for him. He managed to win his next match and was so close to winning his third match, but he fell short.
These boys have worked incredibly hard throughout the entire season, and reaching the postseason tournaments is a true accomplishment. Congratulations on making it, many wrestlers don’t have the opportunity to participate in tournaments at this level.
