Rappo claims gold; 17 others medal

Rappo looks up at the CRS fans as the seconds tick off the clock during his finals victory.

Council Rock South senior Mark Rappo won District One’s lone gold medal at the PIAA Wrestling Championships on March 8th at the Giant Center in Hershey. Rappo took first in the 103 pound bracket in AAA, matching a feat that his two older brothers previously accomplished (Rick won in 2004 and Mike won in 2005 and 2006).

District One brought home a total of 18 medals, two in AA and 16 in AAA. Pottstown senior Seth Ecker placed third at 119 pounds for the District’s highest AA medal. In AAA, 11 of the 16 medal winners are underclassmen, which is a good sign for the District next season and beyond. Here’s a complete rundown of all the District One state medal winners:

NHSCA Sports Network 'Guess the Placers' Contests

For the past few seasons, the PAC-10 wrestling website has been conducting prediction contests of post-season tournaments. This season, the NHSCA Sports Network ran the contests ... from regionals to states.

There were 156 entries for the AA state contest and 330 entries for the AAA state contest. When it was all said and done, this year’s contest winners are tvswarm (won AA by 154 points) and brindle145 (won AAA by 35 points). Click the links below for the complete standings. No entry was able to correctly predict the complete finish (1-8) for any weight class, but LA Lakers did get 1st thru 7th in AAA 160, falling a single point from a perfect weight class. Thanks to everyone for playing and we hope to have the contests again next year!
