ORWIGSBURG — The pairings are set.

Tournament organizers released the seeds for the Schuylkill League Wrestling Championships late Wednesday and several trends emerged.

North Schuylkill is the only team to enter a full 13-wrestler lineup, with Blue Mountain, Tri-Valley, Mahanoy Area and Pine Grove sending 12 apiece. Tamaqua entered 11, with 10 each from Pottsville and Panther Valley, nine from Schuylkill Haven and six from Williams Valley.

The Vikings, though, are tied with Blue Mountain and North Schuylkill with three No. 1 seeds. Xzavion Tennis (133), Colin Crisswell (160) and Camron Green (285) are top seeds for the Vikings.

The Spartans’ No. 1s are Alex Deritis (114), Easton Edwards (121) and Cadyn McGraw (215). Bryce Bodenberg (139), Owen Woll (152) and Bradley Renninger (189) earned top seeds for the Eagles.

Tri-Valley has a pair of No. 1 seeds in Owen Wolfgang (107) and Noah Hanlon (145). Tamaqua’s Aiden Schlier (127) and Pottsville’s Terrell McFarland (172) round out the top seeds.

Wolfgang, Woll and McFarland are returning champions; McFarland, a junior, is a two-time league champ. North Schuylkill’s Nate Sterner, the No. 2 seed at 145, is a defending champion, and Schlier captured a league gold in 2023.

Action will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at Blue Mountain High School with the preliminaries, followed by the championship quarterfinals at 9:45 a.m. The second-round consolations and semifinals will start at 11 a.m., with the third round of consolations at noon and the fourth round of consolations at 12:30 p.m. The championship finals and bouts for third and fifth places will be contested on three mats starting at 2:30 p.m.

The Schuylkill League Junior Varsity Wrestling Tournament will be held concurrently starting at 9 a.m. and continuing until completion.
