Freshman Bryce (107) followed up his Friday night quarterfinal win by beating top seed Aristotel Bobotas from Montoursville 7-3, setting up a rematch with Montgomery’s Manny Stultzfus in the finals. Stultzfus topped Pequignot 6-1 in last week’s District 4 quarterfinals before the Mountie freshman ran off four straight wins to place 3rd.

Stoltzfus won 5-2 in the 107-pound final, giving Pequignot (33-6) the silver and a spot in the State Championships next week in Hershey. 

Brayden won a pair of matches Friday night to advance to Saturday’s semifinals .. including a pin of District 2 champ Connor Novakowski from Wyoming Area in 3:32.

Pequignot then had three straight rematches from a week ago .. first falling by a 20-4 tech fall to D4 runner-up and Regional champ Bradley Wagner from Mifflinburg to drop into the consolation bracket. He then faced Milton’s Ty Locke and beat him 5-0 to advance to the 3rd place match and guarantee himself a spot at States. Pequignot pinned Locke last week to get into the consolation finals, where he fell to Hughesville junior Chase Shaner. This time, Shaner won 4-2 to give Brayden (32-10) 4th place.

Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. on Thursday at Hershey’s Giant Center and continues through Saturday. Tickets to attend must be purchased online, HERE.
