Pellicciotti Places Seventh at States
The 2007-08 high school wrestling season came to a close on Saturday, March 8th with the finals of the PIAA Wrestling Championships at the Giant Center in Hershey. For the 8th straight season, Boyertown had a state medal winner, as sophomore Alex Pellicciotti claimed seventh place at 130 pounds. Senior Tim Feroe also competed in the tournament, going 0-2.
Pellicciotti opened the tournament with a 5-2 prelim victory over Zach Kelly of West Allegheny. His quarterfinal opponent was Jordan Oliver of Easton (who went on to earn his third state title), with Oliver winning via a tech fall. The loss dropped Alex to the consolations where he rebounded with a 7-4 decision over Central Dauphin’s Kenny Stank, to clinch a medal. In the consolation quarters, a close 4-3 loss to Middletown’s Kyler Killian put Pellicciotti in the 7th place final. In that final bout, a 6-3 decision over Plum’s Zach Zummo gave Pellicciotti 7th and his first state medal, earning his season with a record of 39-7.
Feroe started his first trip to states with a tough draw, getting eventual champion Mallie Shuster of Big Spring in the prelims. Shuster won that bout by a 12-3 major decision. In the consolations, Feroe dropped a hard fought 3-1 decision to Bethel Park’s Nick Bonaccorsi to close out his junior season with a record of 36-13 with a team-high 25 falls on the year.
