Win Buccos Win!
The Boys Wrestling team had a successful post-season with 10 Southwest Regional Qualifiers. These included Cam Baker (107), Carter Thomas (114), Luca Rosa (121), Julian Bertucci (127), Jacob Stewart (133), Cooper Hornack (139), Calio Zanella (145), Ben Catullo (152), Isaac Lacinski (172), and Luke Boylan (215). Out of these 10 individuals, four placed and two qualified for the PIAA State Tournament. Cooper Hornack (2nd) and Cam Baker (3rd) qualified, while Luke Boylan (7th) and Julian Bertucci (8th) placed at the Southwest Regional Tournament. The State tournament was held at The Giant Center in Hershey PA. Cam and Cooper battled through tough brackets to both place 6th. This was Cam's 2nd state medal, previously finishing 4th. While Cooper became Burrell's 5th four-time PIAA State Place-winner. Cooper finished as a runner-up his freshman year, followed up by 4th his sophomore season, and finished as the State Champ last year. The Bucs are primed for a phenomenal 2025 season and another WPIAL and State Title run. Upcoming Senior Luke Boylan said, "The boys need to keep putting in offseason work to retain last season's success." The bulk of the roster stays the same with a few new additions and only 2 seniors graduating.
