Here are five things to watch for as the postseason wrestling tournaments kick off this weekend in PIAA Class 2A and 3A and culminate in two weeks with the PIAA championships at the Giant Center in Hershey.

Take a look:

Can Quakertown, Faith Christian wrestlers repeat?

Three area wrestlers, then sophomores Collin Gaj of Quakertown and Gauge Botero of Faith Christian, and then freshman Adam Waters of Faith Christian, all won PIAA titles a year ago. Can they do it again?

Bucks County wrestlers will be in the running

Who else from the area might climb to the top step of the podium? Quakertown's Mason Ziegler and Calvin Lachman, Conwell-Egan's Charlie Robson, Council Rock North's Eren Sement, Faith Christian's Joey Bachmann, Chase Hontz and Cael Weidemoyer and Council Rock South's Bek Sadriddinov are all capable of making a serious run at a PIAA gold medal.

Bucks County girls also now have a shot at PIAA gold

The PIAA championships, which provide three days of non-stop action, add even more intrigue this year as the top female wrestlers from around the state will also be on the mats at the Giant Center for the first time looking for spots on the podium.

Faith Christian again the team to beat for PIAA Class 2A title

Faith Christian ran away with the PIAA Class 2A team title last year in Hershey (having nine state medalists, including two state champs, will do that) with 151 team points, 50 more than Notre Dame-Green Pond of District 11 and 80 more than third-place Bishop McDevitt of District Three. Can the Lions do it again? With an even more powerful team? The answer is yes.

A record-breaker for Bucks County in Hershey?

Since the PIAA tournament began, and even when it switched to two classifications 50 years ago (Class 2A and 3A), the Courier Times/Intelligencer area has never had more than three PIAA champions in one season, with the latest being last season. Does that mark get broken in Hershey this season? Again, the answer is yes.
