Penn State - Lehigh '25 Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

I actually thought he should have given backs there, was surprised not to see a brick. I haven't watched the replay yet.
All of a sudden I'm worried about SVN. I thought it was just Lovett who he didn't want to go under but after today I'm concerned about any tough rider. He needs to not allow himself to get rolled like that and be more methodical about getting out.
Neither is close to Ironhead; but I thought the same thing. They did pretty well, I thought.
Mine is not a blue shepherd, but when she was 4 months old she went flying out the door with the 3 grandkids and got to the steps down off the deck and stopped dead. She looked back at me to see if she was allowed to follow the kids and I simply told her, no you have to stay. She sulked but went right back into the house.
In the mornings I let her out, she picks the back yard or side yard (both fenced and gated) she opens the gate door, let's herself in and I shave, shower and dress. When I go out I tell her come on, she let's herself out of whichever yard she initially chose by opening the gate and right back up on the deck and in the door.
She could let herself out at any time, but waits for me to come and call her in.
The Lehigh wrestling website roster shows him as a Senior with Sophomore Eligibility.
First 2 years State Champ for Notre Dame Greenpond
Father and coach had disagreement , transferred to Saucon Valley but the PIAA wasn't going to allow transfer for year end tournament. Supposedly he got hurt also, but could of been just a reaction to PIAA decision. He won his third State Gold his Senior year for Saucon Valley.
Should have been a 4 timer.
Same with Nate Desmond first 2 years State Champ for BECA then transferred to Wyoming Cemetery.
A little trivia. I believe District 11 has had only one 4 time State champ. Who would that be??

Yea Rodgers took one shot in 7 minutes and Rocco had some nice shots but few in number.
Cole gets counters on him a lot and they end up being take downs, he will have trouble with big guys who can move a little. But he's young and will get better.
There's zero doubt he will get better, I just feel like he simply isn't big enough yet...I wonder if you get Lucas some matches in just in case? I don't think Lucas is much bigger though
Crookham suffered a concussion at WNO before his JR year, and in his SR year injured his knee at the Clarion Open and did not return until Feb.
Gerhard.
Coach KD (Khalid Dassan) was in the house today watching his club’s stars PJ Duke and Rocco Welsh.
5 lb and loses to Cole consistently.
Cole just needs to commit to his shots. He left points behind because he didn't pull the trigger, and others because he didn't finish.
Also we need to remember that Taylor is probably by 20 lb the biggest guy he'll face all year. Or at least Taylor is by far the best HWT over 255 lb in the country.
Cole needs to improve, but let's not overreact to something he might not have to deal with the rest of the year, and that Cochran is no better suited to.
Did anybody else catch the announcer saying about how penn state fans call stalling at just about anything and immediately after he said that the ref called stalling and I didn't hear anything from the fans, lol. Who were the announcers?
True, but that guy knows wrestling. You could tell the two from today have never stepped on a mat, but they atleast did their research and were prepared. BIG + is a wild ride, you never know when you will get an "illegal fist to the back".
Ok, well let’s just agree then that they read this board and did not capture the irony of posts mocking hawks fans for wailing “he’s staaaaaling. “
All kidding aside, that's a perfect match. Iowa does not have a 133 next year with Ayala gone. At all. [ Maybe Iowa could bump up that little ,annoying guy that hogs up the TV screen doing Iowa dual meets ?] Even more than Moriah Marinelli.
Well, they could bump up Cruz or DeLuca, but they want to keep DeLuca at 125, and they like Cruz so much that they imported Peterson.
Needs a lot of work on legs defense from bottom. Not good to see that today.
He also just looks sloppy. He’s good enough to score his way out of any issues but against the top guys he needs to clean things up. 149 sucks this year though. He will continue to get sharper and should cruise to a title I think
Just back from the match. I thought the team overall looked a little sluggish out there. Mini "training through" event from the staff?
He definitely seemed to be trying the same finish but I wasn't really happy with it. Maybe more practice before taking it out for a spin.
Matt Gerhard. I wrestled him my junior year.
Absolutely did their research
they also referred to the mat as the ground, but they are students so giving them a pass
Not the worst defeat for Lehigh at the hands of Penn State that I've witnessed live. I forget the year, but PSU shut out Lehigh at Stabler Arena.
Lehigh coaches were all upset about it. Why not toss the brick? You aren't winning the dual.
Cole is starting his 2nd year here, he’s 20 years old. Anthony was in his 4th year here I think when he was out heavy. This may take another year or two.
Actually, the correct answer is Matty from Catty. Many in the valley would not know what to make of “Gerhard. “
I compared Cole to Cassar. One big difference is age. Cole is currently 2 years out of HS. When Cassar won his title he was 4 to 5 years out of HS. Cassar, even though basically the same weight as Cole, was much more physically mature as he should have been since he was 2 to 3 years older.
