Kolat is the best of all time in PA.

Hi Jay. this footage is some of the better footage of archived PIAA footage I have seen. I am trying to get 1993 footage. Do you have anything like this or know where I can get it?

I hung out with Kolat when he went to Lock Haven. I once got his Iguana so stoned that it sat there and stared at the wall for 4 hours straight

@@John.gal05 Ask him! His first year at Lock Haven. Mike Geurin, Cary’s Roomate and teammate was my friend that I was visiting. Great guy! Cary was alright too. For the record, Cary NEVER smoked LOL

Jason Betz was a hell of a wrestler in his own right. Three-time state champion that was up something like 10-2 in his semifinal his senior year and was hit with a spladle and pinned and prevented from being a four-timer. One of the biggest upsets ever in PA wrestling.

140 lbs was easily the best match both guys shot. And there was an incredible amount of sportsmanship. The way the guy in the green singlet patted and congratulated his opponent after the match was probably 1 of a kind.

Thank you. It always pays to be a good sport, especially in defeat.

@@markpetras7586 no way!!!! That’s you Mr. Petras! So freaking cool to see a comment from you, congratulations on being a state finalist in easily the toughest state for high school wrestling. And your sportsmanship in this footage has been something that has stuck with me since I watched your match weeks ago.

I love the announcer claiming Bohn has come here to battle when all he did was back out of bounds at 100 mph the instant Kolat got a finger on him or get injured.

Good point.

pretty sure kolat hits a kamura on boen which he probably learned from shultz, it eventually became illegal when shultz broke a dudes arm with it... looks pretty gnarly on boens arm

He did it on me at the Maryland Open when he was probably only a freshman in HS and I was in college. There was so much torque that if I didn't just go with it, my arm would have dislocated or broke.

The music sounds like its from the 70s not the 90s

Does anyone have 95-96 PIAA state finals?

Annoying to be making predictions for each match for high school sports. But he only got one wrong.

@@e2go It's a high school tournament. Not the NFL. The guy thinks he's Jimmy the Greek. He should tell us about the background of the wrestlers and forget the predictions. He sounds like a putz and people aren't tuning in 5 minutes before the bouts start to hear his self-serving predictions.

Bohn literally did nothing but run away then lay on his stomach to stall. I don't blame Kolat for trying to rip his arm off. Did nothing.

This guy just straight up tried to hurt other wrestlers. Its like he was intentionally trying to injure them.

@Jan Norris I don't think he intentionally went out to hurt guys, but he also had no problem going 1000% on a move. If you weren't going to turn on an armbar, he was going to rip your shoulder out of socket. If you weren't going to go with the front headlock, he was going to twist your head the hell off. There was a simple way for the guy not to get hurt, just stop fighting it. That's the point of any move. Make it impossible for your opponent to resist your will. He was that much more advanced and physically strong than guys his age. He beat NCAA champions while still in high school and was a great freestyle wrestler at that age. He trained at Foxcatcher with Olympic champions like Dave Schultz. High school kids couldn't hang with him. I think 10 guys went the distance against him in his entire four-year career, which is unreal, especially in this time period when Pennsylvania wrestling was SO deep. He shouldn't have to baby his opponents or take it easy on them, especially in the state championships.
