The Magic 3 Do It Again!

The next phase of this crazy 2021 PIAA post-season took place in Bucks County on Saturday 2/27! With the lightweights at Council Rock North, and the heavyweights at Council Rock South, the District 1 Southeastern Regional Tournament took place without a hitch. Separated in buildings just a couple of miles apart, the two groups took to the mats and battled it out for a coveted spot in the PIAA State Tournament in this anything-but-normal year. Only the top 4 would advance, so tension was high! When the dust settled, the Cougars qualified all three wrestlers who attended! Keanu Manuel (120) took the gold medal, avenging last weekend’s loss and going 3-0. Matt Romanelli (172) took an early loss, but bounced back to win three straight and claim the bronze at 3-1. Lastly, sophomore Bo Horvath (160) battled to a 2-2 record and placed fourth to earn his first trip to states. Congratulations to all three competitors! Best of luck in the next phase at the Super Regional held at Quakertown HS where all wrestlers will fight for one of eight treasured medal placements. May the wrestling gods be with you!
