2019-20 Pennsylvania High School Rankings - AAA

PIAA: AAA 126-Pounds

The PIAA State Championships wrapped up three months ago. Unfortunately, it was one of the last events prior to the country shutting down. The bow never got wrapped on the 2019-20 season with the PIAA rankings. This final edition will lay the groundwork for the 2020-21 preseason rankings. In addition to a final ranking at each weight class a pound for pound ranking has been added to spur your debates. Rankings reflect the placement in Hershey with subjective rankings starting after the medalists.

Kurtis Phipps earned the first state title in school history, but it’s the youngsters that pique my interest on the medal stand here. Rocco Welsh lived up to the hype in a weight class that is difficult to have his level of success as a freshman. Jude Swisher turned heads all season long starting at King of the Mountain and finishing it off with his fourth place finish in Hershey. 

Finn Solomon is a ranker’s nightmare as he missed the state tournament. He was second a year ago and knocked Phipps off at the sectional tournament. He lands at #13 and is the highest non-qualifier at the weight.
