2024 State Championships!

This season flew by and here we are at the final weekend of competition. The Raiders have had an outstanding season but our fearsome four have much higher goals than to just get to Hershey. So here is the last scouting report for the year (a big sigh of relief).


Again, we have schedules, links to brackets, ticket purchases and online media. Plus you get a detailed rundown of our wrestlers and their weight classses (No other weight classes are covered in this report - it's all about us!)


What they want to earn this week!

This is from the Beau Bayless' collection.

He is the only Raider to earn 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th place medals


We send four really tough guys to Hershey and each of them has the ability to stand high on the podium come Saturday. It is the first trip to Chocolate Town for Angelo and Logan. Louie is making his third treck (first as a Raider) and Chase completes his career with his fourth straight appearance at the big show.


Louie and Chase want to add to their state medal collection and hopefully their experience will help guide the two rookies on their quest to get their own medals. It is fortunate for Reynolds to have wrestled in the State Team Duals the past two years since that should help Angelo and Logan to break through the big arena jitters that sometimes affects the younger guys.


Organization of this report

This week, we have a slightly different format than used all season. The top few sections are similar with the Schedules, Viewing options and Raider History. But for the actual wrestler sections, we have different major topics all organized by the four weight classes.


For Each of our guys, I have 4 sub-topics

  • Weight Class by Name

    • The standard name, school and record list

  • State Rankings

    • State rankings once again use ratings from PA Power Wrestling and Keystone Caliber Wrestling. The PA Power Wrestling list was made before the Region tournament. KWC was updated this past Sunday and has only the wrestlers that qualified for Hershey.

  • Last Year at States

    • A list of everyone that was in Hershey last year along with the place. The weight wrestled last year is included if it is different than this year.

  • Head-to-Head Results

    • The result of any match one of our guys wrestled with anyone in their weight class.

I used a tiny font size as best I can so this is viewable on a cell phone too. But some names are just so long that there will be some text wrapping on the lists.

Schedule & Tickets

TICKETS

Unfortunately, the PIAA (and/or Hershey Arena) is using Ticketmaster for their ticket management system. Thus added expenses will be high and you are forced to store your tickets in your electronic wallet (which I find annoying). But that's the only game in town. Click on the appropriate links below and follow the path to Wrestling.

Audio Broadcast

The PIAA licenses the video rights exclusively to FloWrestling. Thus, we are allowed to provide just an audio broadcast.


With 6 mats running, it is difficult to track all the action so the Legacy Club has teamed up with sunny1057fm.org to provide coverage of the entire tournament, especially the District 10 boys and girls. Ryan Hills will join with Matt Still and Tim Mitcham to call the action.


The link to the specific URL will be provided once I get it.

Reynolds History at the State Tournament

The Raiders are one of the premier teams almost every year and take a lot of space in the text when pundits review PIAA Wrestling History. But you already know that.


Reynolds won the first ever PIAA team title in 1976 (we were the unofficial team

champion in 1975). In the 47 years that team awards were given, the Raiders

have taken home 1st or 2nd place tropies in almost one third of the years, 15

times! Additionally, the teams have finished in the top ten 30 different years.


Individually, 20 different wrestlers have stop on the top of the podium with 29

total state titles won. 65 more individuals have won medals. That is an

incredible 16% of ALL varsity wrestlers ever at Reynolds that have earned PIAA

Medals - that is one out of every six varsity wrestlers! This is more

astonishing when you consider that for the 60's and the early 70's, only state

finalists earned a trophy. And then for many years, only the top four wrestlers

won medals.


Some of the numbers still astonish me even though I have lived through this era.


TEAM

9 Team Championships: 1976, 1993, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2015, 2017 and 2018.

This leads ALL teams in Pennsylvania! (not including the Unofficial title in 1975.)

6 2nd Place Team: 1978, 1992, 2001, 2003, 2011 and 2012.

4 3rd Place Team: 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009.

30 Teams have place in the top 10.
