Unbeaten PIAA champs share Bucks County girls high school Wrestlers of the Year honors
They wrestle in way-different weight classes, but the seasons Quakertown's Caroline Hattala and Conwell-Egan's Julia Horger put together were quite similar.
Both juniors, they went a combined 67-0 and won PIAA gold medals.
And, as dominating as that sounds, a deeper look into the numbers shows just how good both of them were this past season.
For Horger, in her 33 wins, 16 came by fall, 15 by technical fall and two by forfeit.
Conwell-Egan's Horger, Quakertown's Hattala thrived in Hershey
At the PIAA tournament in Hershey at 106 pounds, Horger had three technical falls (including one in the title match) and a pin in securing her second PIAA gold medal (the first came last year when she finished 22-0 with numbers almost as unreal as this year).
And Hattala, in her 34 wins, piled up 30 pins, three decisions and one forfeit at 190 pounds.
In Hershey, she had a pair of pins and allowed just two points in her four matches. In the gold medal match, she blanked Plum's Alaina Claassen, 5-0.
Their combined efforts earned Horger and Hattala Courier Times/Intelligencer co-wrestler of the year honors.
"Julia just keeps getting better and better and always wants to improve," Conwell-Egan head coach Chuckie Connor said.
Horger and Hattala were the only undefeated wrestlers in the Bucks County area.
Hattala's junior teammate, Ashley Stank, also won a PIAA gold medal as did senior Collin Gaj on the boys' side.
'It's been a great day for Quakertown wrestling," said Quakertown boys head coach Kurt Handel after the PIAA finals in Hershey on March 8.
"To see Caroline, Ashley and Collin all win gold medals is a great accomplishment and I couldn't be happier for all of them."
