Loaded PA Line-up Set for Pinning Down Autism All-Star Duals

The Sixth Annual Pinning Down Autism has expanded from a dual meet between New York vs. New Jersey and now includes four All-Star Teams. An absolute loaded Pennsylvania team will be competing against All-Star line-ups from New York, New Jersey, and Ohio in Allentown, PA at Muhlenberg College on Saturday April 23rd.

Leading Team PA are seniors Micky Phillippi (Derry Area), Hayden Hidlay (Mifflin County), Jake Wentzel (South Park), and Michael Rogers (Wyoming Seminary). The rest of Pennsylvania’s line-up is just as impressive with 2016 PIAA State Champions Brian Courtney (Athens Area) and Gavin Hoffman (Montoursville Area) joining studs Sammy Sasso (Nazareth Area), Jimmy Saylor (Easton Area), and Trent Hidlay (Mifflin County).

It is hard to find a more impressive line-up for Team PA and the Keystone State stars are the clear favorites to win the 2016 Pinning Down Autism Duals. Team New York also touts a star filled line-up including Fargo National Champion Vitali Arujau and State Champion Frankie Gissenendanner.

Below are the listed line-ups in addition to information on Pinning Down Autism. Flo Wrestling will be live streaming the event.
