BROCKWAY — The District 9 Committee released the brackets for this weekend’s individual wrestling championships at Clarion University.
The goal of the post season is to advance, and if the seeds play out, the Clearfield Bison would send nine of their entered wrestlers on to the North West Regional Tournament March 1 and 2 in Sharon.
The Curwensville Golden Tide would advance three of their 10 entrants, as the top-4 in each weight class will move on for another weekend of wrestling.
Garnering number one seeds for the Bison were Cash Diehl (25-9) at 121, Brady Collins (36-2) at 152, and Carter Chamberlain (26-7) at 189.
The only second seeded wrestler for the Bison is Colton Ryan (29-11) at 133, while Ty Aveni (29-16) at 145 was the lone Bison to earn a three seed.
The four seeds for the Bison are Dakota Shugarts (19-13) at 114, Bryndin Chamberlain (20-15) at 127, Colton Bumbarger (20-14) at 139, and Will Domico (20-12) at 160.
