That’s a great sign for the sport and fans who will be at Williamsport’s Magic Dome on Saturday for plenty of talented matchups.

Who’s wrestling in the tournament? Who’s ranked in the state?

All that and more in a look at this year’s tournament, broken down weight by weight All state rankings are rankings entering Friday.

100 POUNDS

RALPH WILSON/Sun-Gazette Correspondent Montgomery's Brooke Knoebel wrestles Williamsport's Malaina Comfort earlier this year. The two could meet up in the 100-pound semifinals.

A trio of state-ranked wrestlers appear in the 14-wrestler bracket. That includes top-seeded Brooke Knoebel of Montgomery, a freshman who’s 28-6 and ranked No. 9 in the state. She receives a first-round bye. Williamsport sophomore Malaina Comfort is ranked No. 6 in the state and is 20-4 and faces Sayre’s Isabella Stamile in the first round.

Comfort is a wrestler coach Kevin Werner spoke highly of after a dual vs. the Red Raiders and Comfort and Knoebel could meet up in the championship semifinals in a rematch from earlier this year in which Comfort beat Knoebel.

Isabella Olshefskie of Hughesville is also ranked in the state, being No. 19 as she’s 30-8 as a sophomore. Olshefskie will wrestle Mount Carmel’s Cheyeanne Becker in the first round.

Selinsgrove’s Aislynn Weller (24-7) is the second-seeded wrestler in the field.

106 POUNDS

CHRIS MANNING/Sun-Gazette Correspondent Lillian Rumsey of Williamsport wrestles at last year’s PIAA girls wrestling championships in Hershey. After missing some time due to an injury this year, Rumsey is competing in the postseason and is in the 118-pound bracket. She was ranked No. 4 in the state at 124 this year.

A possible good final could be in the works here. Montgomery’s Jenna Houseknecht (33-4) is ranked No. 5 in the state at 106 as a sophomore and is on the opposite side of the bracket from Hughesville junior Julia Ritter (30-5), who’s ranked No. 23.

Those two didn’t meet this year as Houseknecht wrestled at 112 throughout the year and bumped down to 106 for districts, but those two could have a great matchup with one another if they win out.

Milton’s Fiona Zheng, Montoursville’s Keira Dreese and Williamsport’s Aubrey Tolentino-English are all in the field as well.

112 POUNDS

Milton’s Kyleigh Ficks is ranked No. 14 in the state at 112 and is 30-6 as a freshman, proving that she’s a talented wrestler who was ready for the varsity spotlight. Ficks will have a first-round bout with Jersey Shore’s Makenna Brininger in the 16-wrestler field.

Towanda’s Kaylen Sluyter (27-4) is the only other state-ranked wrestler at 112, ranked No. 18.

Hughesville’s Jaysa Kiess is a freshman who’s 34-6 and is the top-seed in the field. Keiss was an honorable mention selection in state rankings for PA Wrestling at 118 this year but bumped to 112 for districts. She has 20 wins by pin this year as well.

118 POUNDS

During a dual earlier this year in January against Montgomery, Williamsport’s Lillian Rumsey was walking around with her arm in a sling and wasn’t in a singlet. After the dual, coach Kevin Werner wasn’t sure if Rumsey would be able to wrestle in the postseason.

But the senior wasn’t going to allow her career to end with an injury, and she’s in the tournament and looking to reach states for a third consecutive season.

Rumsey is the top seed at 118 and was ranked No. 4. at 124 this year in the state, and is wrestling down at 118. She has a bye into the quarterfinals. She’s one of two state-ranked wrestlers at 118, joined by No. 19 Joyce Clink of Athens (24-7).

At the opposite end of the bracket, Hughesville’s Ariahna Moore (30-7) is the second seed and also has a bye into the quarterfinals.

Given Rumsey’s resume — which includes two bronze medals at the state tournament and more than 100 career victories — she’s a favorite to win the district title at 118. Moore, however, isn’t a wrestler to overlook and could also make a deep run.

124 POUNDS

The 124 field is one of the deepest with 17 wrestlers competing, but is also one of the more open fields. No one in the bracket is ranked in the state, but there are a lot of talented wrestlers.

That includes top-seeded senior Callie Hess (28-3) of Benton, Line Mountain’s Alessia Horning (18-14), seeded eighth, Northeast Bradford’s Mackenzie Clark (18-12), seeded fifth, and Milton’s Louise Cromley (16-10), seeded sixth. Williamsport’s Mykia Petruskevich is also a wrestler who hopes to make a run. The Millionaire junior is 16-6 and is seeded second and has a bye into the second round.

130 POUNDS

Three state-ranked wrestlers are featured at 130, and all are ranked in the top-11. That includes Montgomery junior Briella Walk (No. 11), Shikellamy’s Aubrey Rebuck (No. 10) and Athens’ Hanna Rathbun (No. 9).

Walk is 17-4 this year and will face Benton’s Kenzie Meikrantz in the first round. Rebuck faces Wellsboro’s Kaelyn Peterson and Rathbun, who is a senior that’s 30-3, wrestles Mifflinburg’s Lyla Budman. Anaiah Kolesar of Northeast Bradford is 31-1 and is the top seed.

All four of those standout wrestlers have a shot at winning a title.

Also in the field from the area is Muncy’s Lillian Kramer (12-15), Hughesville’s Madoka Charles (16-17), Jersey Shore’s Chloe Corson, Milton’s Alayna Graham (10-5) and Williamsport’s Sophia Rosato.

136 POUNDS

Zoe Furman has proven herself to be a dominating wrestler for Montgomery and her 35-0 record is indicative why. That also is why she’s the No. 1 ranked wrestler in Pennsylvania at 136 pounds and is a huge favorite to win another district title.

Furman said earlier in the year that she wants to win gold this year at states after taking silver last year and she’s more than motivated and focused to get back to Hershey. The Red Raider senior faces Mount Carmel’s Amelia Karycki in the first round and will be a tough wrestler to beat this year. No one’s beaten Furman yet this season, and it’s hard to envision her losing in districts despite many tough wrestlers in the field.

Williamsport’s Emma Schell (16-12) faces Southern’s Aryanna Vezo (10-4), Muncy’s Eva Nagel 914-11) faces Jersey Shore’s Elliana Herr, Milton’s Adelyn BUsh (11-2) faces SUgar Valley’s Skylynn Taylor and Wellsboro’s Katherine Whitney (17-10) will wrestle Towanda’s Lia Fischer (15-13).

142 POUNDS

This bracket sees another trio of state-ranked wrestlers in Milton’s Shu Hyra Ali (23-6, No. 22), Selinsgrove’s Elizabeth Varner (24-7, No. 25) and Hughesville standout Avery Earnest (30-3, No. 14).

Earnest is the top seed in the field and has a bye into the quarterfinals and faces either Piper Karcher of CMVT or Ferrah Balmahi of Shamokin. Earnest is a sophomore and has wrestled outstanding. Of her 30 wins, 23 have been by pin. She’s also looking to win a repeat distrit title after claiming gold last winter.

Earnest suffered two losses on Jan. 17, falling to Honesdale’s Maddison Miller by pin in 1:41 and Upper Dauphin’s Jacelyn Henninger by pin in 2:59. But despite closing the regular dual season with a 2-2 record in her final four matches, Earnest has faced talented wrestlers throughout the year and is more than battle tested.

148 POUNDS

Hughesville’s Caroline Hicks is seeded No. 1 in the field with a 24-10 record and has a bye into the quarterfinals. Hicks will wrestle either Layla Dunn of Line Mountain or Taylor Ross of Jersey Shore.

The bottom of the bracket has Shikellamy’s Roslyn Snyder (23-2) seeded No. 2 as she’s ranked No. 30 in Pennsylvania. Montgomery’s Addison Greger, a junior, is 18-14 and has a bye as the third seed in the tournament into the quarterfinals. She will wrestle either Shamokin’s Nevaeh Leiby and Danville’s Jadelyn Sarviss.

155 POUNDS

Isabella Gottschall of Jersey Shore is a two-time District 4 finalist, having taken silver as a freshman and gold as a sophomore. And this year, she’s eyeing another spot in the finals.

Gottschall is seeded No. 1 in the bracket after going 22-2 and is ranked No. 5 in Pennsylvania. She’s one of two state-ranked wrestlers at 155, the other being Towanda junior Elizabeth Naughton (No. 21) who is 21-11. At the bottom of the bracket, Georgina Leet of Montgomery (10-4) is seeded second.

Gottschall will face either Williamsport’s Brooke Lowe or Shamokin’s Marion Ulrich. Gottschall has competed at states, doing so as a freshman, so she knows what it takes to get to Hershey and has been battle tested the last two years. That makes Gottschall a well-rounded wrestler who’s not easy to beat, and she is a favorite to get to the finals again.

170 POUNDS

Shikellamy’s Finley Boetsch is just a freshman, but she’s having one amazing debut season. The Brave is 29-1 this year and is hoping her freshman season results with a district gold medal at 170. Boetsch’s lone loss this year came against Brockway’s Elysabeth Myers by pin in 3:13. On the opposite side of the bracket, Athens’ Abigal Wagner is seeded second.

Boetsch isn’t state ranked surprisingly, but nonetheless, she’s going to be a tough wrestler to beat at 170.

Milton’s Tsel Meg Tsogsaikhan will face Towanda’s Adalee Wecker in the first round and Williamsport’s Selena Fontenot wrestles Southern’s Daphney Bingamana. Also in the first round from the area is Muncy’s Paige Dunham-Lester, who will face Mifflinburg’s Lydia Miller, and Wellsboro’s Riley Kilburn, who will face Shamokin’s Kara Popiel.

190 POUNDS

Williamsport’s Mia Davis (19-8) is a senior this year and is seeded No. 1 at 190. Davis is hoping to mirror last year’s success when she took silver at districts to reach regionals. While Davis is seeded No. 1, she’s in a tough bracket with three state-ranked wrestlers — No. 25 Skylynn Payne of Athens (16-2), No. 16 Taylor Stewart of Mifflinburg (18-7) and No. 13 Morgan Reichard (16-4) of Central Columbia. That means some really good wrestling will be happening at 190.

Also from the area competing will be Milton’s Hailey King who will wrestle Line Mountain’s Addison Nelson, Wellsboro’s Phoebe Bowen (20-10) who has a first-round bye, and Montgomery’s Malayna Beattie (14-11) will face Piper Diehl of Muncy.

235 POUNDS

This will be a fun field to watch unfold. It features three wrestlers ranked in the top 11 with No. 11-ranked Aubrey Edgar of Central Columbia (15-5), No. 10th-ranked Adelyn Rine of Montgomery (27-6) and No. 7th-ranked Leah Nason of Athens (20-3).

Nason is the top seed and has a bye into the semifinals, facing either Williamsport’s Payton Pepperman or Sugar Valely’s Isabella Snyder.

Rine will wrestle Line Mountain’s Lacey Bartholomew in the quarterfinals and Hughesville’s Emmalia Poust faces Edgar. In the other quarterfinal, Muncy’s Sadie Odell (13-9) wrestles Mount Carmel’s Aryonna McGinley. A semifinal matchup between Edgar and Rine will be a good matchup, and either of them against Nason in the final should be a fun showdown.
