Quotes by Rich Catalano

“It would be a catastrophe if either didnt win this year. It was tough to see both lose such close decisions last year.”

“Chris is ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL and the PIAA, so Im expecting him to make it to Hershey. It will be a little tougher for Rick to make it to states.”

“I feel Chris could be a successful Division I wrestler. Im hoping college coaches will see what he did at Hershey and give him a chance. They cant go wrong with a good kid like Chris.”

“Its not easy to come back [in the consolation bracket] after a narrow loss in the semifinals. Thats one reason why Chris has been so successful. He never quits.”

“I feel bad for Rick because the WPIAL should have four PIAA berths. He deserves to be wrestling in the state tournament, but only the top three get to go. Thats unfair, but nothing I can do about it. There are a couple dozen kids from the WPIAL who deserve to be in Hershey this weekend, but didnt qualify.”
