189 POUNDS: Finalists: Jackson Long, Bellefonte vs. Noah Williams, State College. Champion: Long. Comment: Williams, a freshman, has won 20 in a row and can’t be counted out. Hollidaysburg freshman Keegan Hewitt is a finals candidate on Long’s side.

215 POUNDS: Finalists: Luke Hockenberry, Bellefonte vs. Todd Caris, Central Mountain. Champion: Hockenberry. Comment: I’m tempted to pick Altoona’s 2025 tournament hero Mike Colyer to make the finals to face Hockenberry, but he’s been sidelined for awhile with a knee injury.
