Hershey leaves a bitter taste for locals

NP’s Shannon, Pennridge’s Stillings end with losses

HERSHEY >> North Penn’s Colin Shannon went out swinging, but after falling behind early, couldn’t get quite enough of a push in the other direction, and had to settle for a sixth place finish after dropping an 8-5 decision to Belle Vernon’s Brock Godzin.

In the 160 pound final, Mifflin County’s Trent Hidlay wasted no time in establishing the pace, hitting Pennridge’s Josh Stillings with an ankle pick for the two-point takedown before 20-seconds had ticked off the clock.

Stillings cut the lead to 2-1, wriggling free for an escape just before the period ended.

Hidlay took down to start the second, broke loose for an escape of his own, and worked his second pick in as many periods to go up 5-1.

After Stillings got another escape, he began to push the action, resulting in a stall call on Hidlay, making it a 5-3 match with a little over 30-seconds to go. But Stillings couldn’t fight through the Hidlay defense, and 5-3 held up as the final.

Battling for fifth place at 285, LaSalle’s Vincent Pelusi gave up a second period escape against Bethlehem Catholic’s Nico Camacho, and despite pushing the BECA big man around for much of the period, could neither score a takedown nor force a stalling warning, and went to the third period down by a point.

Pelusi was out for one second into the third, and once again went on the prowl. But it was more of the same, with Pelusi going forward, but not securing the takedown, and the match went to overtime. Camacho scored the winning takedown

19-seconds into the sudden victory period.
