2018-19 individual post-season details, brackets, results, etc
The 2018-19 season is in the book! District 1's AAA post-season had a new look this year for four section tournaments and then the regional, while AA remained the same with the District tournament shared with D12 and then the regional. We have all the brackets and results for all the tournaments around the state, including here in District 1. Check out the links below.

Council Rock South and Faith Christian repeat as Duals champs
For the second year in a row at the District 1 AAA Duals, Council Rock South and Spring-Ford faced off in the championship match. And just like last season, the top seeded Golden Hawks came out victorious to claim their third straight championship (and fifth overall, tying them for the most D1 AAA Duals titles with Upper Perk). The final score was 42-25, which was a bit closer than when the two teams met in mid-January. In the third place match, Owen J. Roberts defeated league rival Boyertown 41-26, giving the PAC three of the four teams District 1 sends to the state duals in AAA.
The AA final was also a repeat of last season, with Faith Christian Academy defeating District 12's Bishop McDevitt 51-22 to win their second straight title. The two teams have now faced each other for the championship in three straight years.
With Owen J. Roberts and Boyertown both winning their opening round state duals matches, all five teams will participate in the rest of the State Duals starting Thursday at the Giant Center in Hershey.
Congrats to Council Rock South and Faith Christian on their championships!

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.
Former D1 Wrestlers in College
Every year you can find many former District 1 wrestlers on rosters at every collegiate level. The 2018-19 season is no exception. We've compiled a list of all the former D1 wrestlers who are competing in college this season (only those on official school rosters are listed). Check out the link below!
Returning this season: Match Videos
Three 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 #4!
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.
