Post-Season Changes Coming to D1 AAA in 2019
Now that the 2018 wrestling post-season in District 1 is in the rear-view mirror, time to start looking ahead. The 2019 post-season is going to look quite different. In the fall of 2017, District 1 approved a recommendation from the District 1 Wrestling Steering Committee to change the AAA post-season from three weekends to two. The move will create four AAA sections where each qualify four per weight to form a 16-man South East AAA Regional bracket. Click the link below for all the details including the sectional breakdown of teams.

2017-18 season recap; Stillings and Catka win state gold
The 2017-18 season is in the books. After 3+ months of excellent wrestling in and around District 1 this season, two wrestlers came home from Hershey with gold medals. Senior Joshua Stillings of Pennridge (182) and sophomore Hunter Catka of Sun Valley (220) climbed to the top of the podium with state gold medals. Overall 18 wrestlers from District 1 (all in AAA) earned state hardware, with 12 returning next year. Congrats to all the medalists and good luck to all those who will graduate in 2018!
Council Rock South and Faith Christian win Duals titles
For the fourth straight season, Council Rock South found themselves in the District 1 AAA Duals championship final. As the top seed they were favored in the final against third seed Spring-Ford but halfway through the final the Rams held a 17-15 lead. But the Golden Hawks flexed their muscle by winning six of the final seven bouts to claim their second consecutive title 46-20. In the third place match, #2 seed Downingtown West defeated #4 seed Boyertown 42-24. All four teams advanced to the PIAA Class AAA state duals. Boyertown dropped their pigtail match, while Downingtown West won theirs to advance to Hershey. The Whippets went 1-2 in Hershey. Spring-Ford won their opener but dropped their next two to go 1-2 as well. Council Rock South dropped their opener but came back to win two more before falling again.
In AA, Faith Christian won their first District championship by defeating Bishop McDevitt by a score of 50-19 in the District 1/12 AA final. The same two teams faced each other last year with the Lancers winning on Criteria but this year the Lions won on the strength of winning 10 bouts. Faith Christian headed to the state tournament for the first time in program history but went 0-2.
Congrats to Council Rock South and Faith Christian on their championships!

Returning this season: Match Videos
Two years ago, PA-Wrestling.com started a new service to record video of regular season dual meets within District 1. We hope this service will help enhance the fan experience as well as create additional exposure for District 1 wrestling around the state and beyond. It's back for season #3!
We plan to present a "Match of the Week" each week of the regular season. Some weeks might have a second match as well. All matches will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel the day after the match. Subscribe to our channel and enable notifications so you are notified as soon as we post any videos. When available, we hope to live stream some matches as well. Any matches that are live streamed will also be archived for later viewing.
District 1 Post-Season brackets back to 1974
During the summer of 2015 (after quite a lot of work), we have finally published a near-complete history of all District 1 post-season tournament results/brackets going back to 1974. There are a few tournaments that don't have complete results but the overwhelming majority of the section, district, and regional tournaments are complete. This project simply couldn't have been done without the work of Jack Holt, D1's wrestling historian! If you wrestled for a D1 team between 1974 and today...you HAVE to check it out.
Follow us on Twitter
PA-Wrestling.com is finally on Twitter... Follow @PA_wrestling as we'll be posting final scores from around District 1 as well as links to the boxscores as soon as they are available on the site. Most posts will have the #PAD1wrestle hashtag as well.
