ROUNDUP: Harer, Nasdeo win PJW titles

A pair of local youth wrestlers won championships at the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling state tournament held at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre over the weekend. They were among the 19 local wrestlers who placed in the PJW state tournament through four divisions.

Muncy’s Brandt Harer won his third PJW state championship with 2-1 win in the 70-pound final of the 9-10-year old division. Harer went 5-0 in the tournament, winning by fall and major decision before three consecutive decision victories to win the championship.

Harer previously won the 8-and-under 50-pound title in 2014, and the 8-and-under 55-pound title in 2015. He is the first three-time PJW state champion from Muncy.

Williamsport’s Cael Nasdeo became Williamsport’s second PJW state champion when he went 4-0 to win the 70-pound crown in the 11-12-year old division. Nasdeo is Williamsport’s first state champion since Torren Potts won the 9-10-year old 120-pound title in 2011.

Nasdeo opened with a 13-2 major decision before rattling off three consecutive wins by two points or fewer. He won, 2-1, in the finals over previous state champion Hunter Sloan of Central Bucks East.

• Williamsport’s Katie Cassidy finished 18th, just two spots out of making the finals, at the PIAA Class AAA Diving Championships on Sunday at Bucknell.

Cassidy reached the semifinals after scoring 163.50 points during the preliminary round. She finished with 265.35 points after the semifinals, just 3.5 points out of qualifying for the finals.

• Senior Mike Castellani tossed a shutout to lead the Bucknell baseball team to a 1-0 win over Cornell in the nightcap of a doubleheader. The Big Red claimed Game 1, 7-3.

Castellani (1-1) was the story of Game 2 as he scattered three hits and struck out four, going the distance for the first time in his career.
