Wrestlers To Watch: Alex Acosta, Sr., 285; Nick Duliakas, Sr., 195; Griffin Gerber, Sr., 170; Luke Resnick, Sr., 120; Ryan Resnick, Sr., 152.
Outlook: Duliakas and the Resnick brothers all qualified for the Southeast AAA Regional Tournament last year. … Ryan Resnick stands in reach of the 100-win plateau for his scholastic career, coming into the season with 92. … “The Pioneer Athletic Conference, which was already a tough league, just became more competitive with the addition of Upper Merion and Norristown,” DeRafelo said. “The league is full of great wrestlers with excellent coaches. We are going to have to be on top of our game every week if we hope to be competitive in the league. We are looking for strong leadership from our seniors, and growth from our underclassmen.”
