The Express-Times individual wrestling rankings for Feb. 12
220. Evan. Kauffman. F. Alex. Neith. P. Fall. :10
220 pounds
1. Sr. Ray O’Donnell (34-3) Saucon Valley
2. Sr. Evan Kauffman (24-1) Freedom
3. Sr. Shaun Heist (33-7) Parkland
4. Sr. Dennis Atiyeh (26-1) Notre Dame
5. Sr. JB Lawson (23-3) Belvidere
Taking injury time: Sr. Kyle Kinney (10-7) Phillipsburg.
Honorable mention: Sr. Imad Azar (21-12) Northampton; Jr. Brian Baehr (18-9) Delaware Valley; So. Anthony Greggo (21-8) Pius X; Jr. Jake Gunning (24-5) Liberty; So. Ryan Johnson (15-15) Bethlehem Catholic; Sr. Andrew Lumsden (11-2) Bangor; Sr. Mike Rozkowski (20-6) Palisades.
Comments: O’Donnell is now Saucon Valley’s all-time wins leader (143), no small honor given the Panthers’ rich tradition. Heist went 6-0 in the PIAA duals and is peaking at the right time; he earns a bump up for his efforts. Both D-11 finals could be classics at this weight. Lawson was the only County Seater to win a match against top-5-ranked Bound Brook with a 29-second pin of Dante Washington.
170 Pounds Ranked #2 So. Jake Young (19-4) Freedom

Brad Schuler (13-3) Whitehall; Sr. Tyler Toth (14-7) Belvidere; Sr. Sean Williams (14-11) Notre Dame.
Comments: A commenter on last week’s live chat said Ortiz should be ranked higher, but a re-check of records can’t really justify that. This is a class, though, that could see plenty of shakeups in the postseason — behind Bernstein, that is.
