Central Bucks East Wrestling Preview

CENTRAL BUCKS EAST WRESTLING PREVIEW

Coach:  Dave Scarpill (12^th year)

Assistant coaches: Eric Knoblauch, Jason Christiansen, Gerry Stanziola, Rob Davis

Last year’s record:

• 9-10 overall (5-2 SOL Continental)
• Solanco “Mule Classic” Tournament 3^rd place
• Carlisle Invitational Tournament 4^th place
• Wetzel Holiday Tournament (Hatboro) 10^th place
• Central Dauphin Tournament 4^th place
• Central Bucks East Invitational  4^th place
• SOL Continental Championships 5^th place
• District 1 East Tournament 6^h place
• South East Regional Tournament 9^th place
• PIAA State Championships 59^th place

Notable losses:

• Francesco Fabozzi (Princeton University)

Key returners:

• Evan Wilson (12^th, 182lbs. state qualifier)
• Ryan Chalifoux (11^th, 132lbs. district qualifier)
• Michael Driver (11^th, 138lbs. district qualifier)

Others to watch:

• Matt Cascioli (12^th, 170lbs.)

Outlook:  “Wilson is looking to build on his state tournament appearance last year.  He and Cascioli are leading a team with very little varsity experience overall.  Driver and Chalifoux will bring a tough 1-2 punch down in the lower weights, but it’s going to be quite the challenge to stay competitive as a team in a tough SOL Continental conference.”

MATCHES TO WATCH:  East vs West is always a classic, but Pennridge is the team to beat in the SOL Continental this year.
