Mahaffey again faced another regional foe for third place in Savauri Shelton of Bermudian Springs. I knew I was going to see him again today.”

“Last week I made a stupid move and was down 5-0,” Mahaffey said of his bout with Muzika. In the consolations, Mahaffey edged Brody Kline of Berks Catholic 7-5, and then avenged an 8-5 regional loss to Faith Christian’s Leo Muzika with a 3-2 conquest. Saucon’s third junior state qualifier, Dante Mahaffey, lost an ultimate tiebreaker 3-2 to Zach Poust of Benton in the quarterfinals. The Panther closed the gap on the Southeast Region champion but settled for fourth after a 5-4 defeat. In the third-place bout, Csencsits faced Halifax’s Bryce Enders, who defeated him 10-1 in last week’s region tournament. Panthers junior Ty Csencsits shrugged off a 6-2 quarterfinal loss to Wes Barnes of Southern Columbia to produce a 12-0 decision and a pin in his first two consolation bouts. But Jones showed he clearly was the third-best wrestler at 172 on Saturday with a 9-4 triumph over Muncy’s Ethan Gush. Sophomore Jake Jones was denied a fourth try at Palisades’ Haubert in the final after getting pinned by Southern Columbia’s Garcia in the semifinals. Saucon Valley, always a major player on the Class 2A state stage, didn’t produce any finalists but had three consecutive wrestlers compete in third-place bouts from 172 through 215, which advanced them to the state tournament. The top four from both the East and West super regions advance to the state tournament, which will be held Friday in Hershey. Haubert’s scoring came on an escape in the first period and two more escapes in the second period.īased on Saturday’s match, it’s a good bet Haubert will get a second shot at Garcia on Friday at the one-day Class 2A state tournament in Hershey. Garcia scored an early takedown, added a second takedown midway through the second period and completed his 5-3 win with a third-period escape 15 seconds in.
