Bressler, who was seeded second, pinned Diamonte Muhammed of Central Dauphin East in 1:17 and rolled to a technical fall over Mike Rudisill of New Oxford in just 2:18 to reach the finals.
The Golden Tide junior claimed the championship with a 5-1 win over No. 1 seed Garret Foster of Somerset, who was a Southwest Region Class AA Tournament qualifier out of District 5 last season.
Bressler was the lone Curwensville matman to triumph in the first round.
Jake Lancaster came back to win two of his next three matches for a fifth-place finish at 132.
Jordan Peters at 145, Hunter Lancaster at 152, Dakota Royer at 160 and Ben Junod at 182 engineered falls in seventh-place matches.
Philipsburg-Osceola had the most champs with three, but the Mounties had to settle for second place behind New Oxford.
Curwensville, which had no entries at 113 and 120, wound up last in the eight-team tourney with 62.5 points, well behind future opponents Punxsutawney, fifth with 148 points, and Moshannon Valley, seventh with 110.5 points.
Coach Duane Wriglesworth’s Golden Tide travels to Brockway Thursday for its dual meet opener.
