ill see if i can give a little bit of a round up for all the D5 teams...

North Star - the obvious team to beat this year...they had so many younger guys step up last year and their success will surely carry over to this year...brandon weimers graduation is the only major loss to this team...this year squad will feature three lascari boys...sal placed 7th at states last year at 125...if he stays healthy, which he had trouble with last year, he should place high...tony lascari made it to states last year after a nice run at regionals...i don’t know anything about the youngest lascari but im sure he is pretty tough...chuck wiltrout will also be a big contributor...i believe he has been to states twice and should make another appearance this year...throw in regional qualifiers boyer (103) and furman (215) along with solid wrestlers trevor anderson and chris abell and they should be solid top to bottom...

Berlin - probably north stars biggest competition this year...last year they upset the cougars at the district dual meet tournament and went on to beat nbc for the dual meet title...they also return a load of quality wrestlers...they will be led by stand outs luke lorson, eric d'carrion, seth cramer, jerad taylor, and troy hostetter...to go along with those studs they have adam darr, troy fochtman, aaron stockwell, and a few of their returning light weights will also add depth to the mountaineers...

Chestunt Ridge - the lions lost several key wrestlers from last years team which qualified for the district 5 dual meet championships...but they also have some talent coming back to pleasantville...they will be particularly strong in the light weights with derek howsare (103), brandon oldham (112), aaron oldham (119), jordan downey(125), and obie clark(130) solidifying the light weights...some other guys that should add depth to ridge are mike davis and joe fitzpatrick...

Northern Bedford - the panthers graduated an excellent senior class last year, most of which have been 3 year starters for nbc, however they do return a nice group of kids with a lot of experience on the mat...matt and jarod mellott should do very well in the light weights, while greg kilgore, tyler lynn, kevin brennen, and a healthy richard oldham should solidify the upper weights...

Bedford - the bisons only really lost four contributors to last years team(geisler, huxta, weyandt, ritchey), but their absence will surely be felt...luke shimmer should be back and healthy in the bedford light weights, while mike young and koleman dudek will bring their expertise to the middle weights...the upper weights, however, will most likely be a weak spot for the blue and white...

Hyndman - the graduation of derek scritchfield, brandon phennecie, and mj parsons will surely hurt the hornets, but they return the best lightweights in the district...PIAA 103 pound runner-up josh snyder and his standout brother jake return...the sophomores will not only lead the hornets throughout the regular season, but they will also be venturing deep into the post season...two other wrestlers that could make a run at the state tournament are junior marcus phennecie and sophomore district runner-up brent willison...justin minnick and cody clites should also be in the starting lineup for the university...

Everett - lost leader tom brambley to the university of pittsburgh at johnstown and hwt eric miller to juniata to play football, but the warriors have plans to put together decent season...last year everett advanced to the district dual meet tournament but was eliminated in the first round by northern bedford...key wrestlers coming back are state qualifier wade grimes (215) along with andrew nave (140), jacob brambley (145), and bill lamens (171)

Meyersdale - the red raiders should have a few decent wrestlers coming back in 2003/2004...light weights ryan murray, don sanner, mike phillips, and dan ackerman, should all do well this coming year...the middle weights will be filled by derek schrader and two time regional qualifier shane bowker...

Conemaugh Twp. - really had a down year last year and they do not look to be much better this year...the loss of 4 year standout phillip tunstall will be a dent in the indians armor...a few returning wrestlers for township are lightweights josh eash and josh feathers...

Tussey Mountain - program has really had some trouble in the past few years...hopefully they are bringing some solid wrestlers up through the elementary and junior high program...this years team will be led by senior doug swab, who should probably make a nice run at districs and advance to regionals...they also have jordon bollman back from last years team...

Shade - are they having a team this year???
