Henson may have wrestled a couple years in PA but I don't really see him as a PA guy.Lock Haven has been a place for PA guys to return and wrestle near home in the past. Chance Marstellar and Thomas Haines quickly come to mind and they are actually both from the same region (high school wrestling District) as Henson.
Good pointHenson may have wrestled a couple years in PA but I don't really see him as a PA guy.
I saw this but didn't say anything because it's really no big deal. But like Kolat, Henson went to high school in Greene County in the extreme southwest corner of PA. Marsteller and Haines were from the central part of the state near Harrisburg.Good point
Edit: it was three years of high school though. 9th, 11th and 12th. And I had his high school / region / district wrong.
Yep. Not really a highly ranked academic school.Lock Haven seems to be a school where student athletes having trouble with academics end up.
Lock Haven is fine academically. It is a small school with less than 2,000 full-time students in a very small town so it's hard to get lost among the hustle. Some (many) people need a smaller environment to keep focused.Lock Haven seems to be a school where student athletes having trouble with academics end up.

Xcuze me…..I weent theier and itz a grat schollYep. Not really a highly ranked academic school.
I stopped in Lock Haven last week, lunched, and picked up a Lock Haven t shirt. Probably not too many around my parts.Xcuze me…..I weent theier and itz a grat scholl
I bet not…where did you eat? Pretty small campus but it’s nice….loved everything about it when I was thereI stopped in Lock Haven last week, lunched, and picked up a Lock Haven t shirt. Probably not too many around my parts.
I did not say it is a bad school, only that athletes with academic problems frequently end up there. Kolat was not accepted at Iowa, then to PSU where he had academic problems, so off to Lock haven..Lock Haven is fine academically.

Kolat had discipline problems, not academic problems. I think one of the last straws was riding the luggage belt into the restricted zone at the Harrisburg airport. That made headlines.I did not say it is a bad school, only that athletes with academic problems frequently end up there.

I thought so too but when I looked it up before posting a somewhat similar response, I found this:Kolat had discipline problems, not academic problems. I think one of the last straws was riding the luggage belt into the restricted zone at the Harrisburg airport. That made headlines.

Wrestler Kolat transfers to Lock Haven
Two years ago, Cary Kolat arrived on Penn State's campus as the most highly touted wrestling recruit ever.After winning four state titles without being challenged, the Western Pennsylvania native waswww.psucollegian.com
“Had he chosen to remain at Penn State, Fritz said Kolat would not have been eligible this year, and even if he got his grade point average up and his academic progress caught up, he would probably only have one year of eligibilty left.”
Maybe. I’m not sure anyone deserves someone posting about their academics from 30 years ago. But I already did. Wish I hadn’t.Good find, mcpat
As I stated previously, he had such a bad transcript that Iowa could not even get him admitted. How he got into PSU was the great question! Obviously he should not have been admitted there either. I just happened to be in the Iowa wrestling offices around the time when Kolat was visiting Iowa. Being from west PA, I had watched Kolat in HS and had a special interest in his going to Iowa.Kolat had discipline problems, not academic problems.

The luggage belt story is still funny, though.I thought so too but when I looked it up before posting a somewhat similar response, I found this:

Who said I ate on campus?
No one, not even me…was saying in general it’s small….you said you stopped in lock haven and had lunch…..don’t read too much into…..unless your a student you certainly didn’t eat on campus…..wow what a response….NVMWho said I ate on campus?
thom67, we have never interacted, but I have been on this board since 1999. Nice to see you getting active again. You are knowledgeable, measured and respectful. Need you to weigh-in more.As I stated previously, he had such a bad transcript that Iowa could not even get him admitted. How he got into PSU was the great question!

This seems like the weirdest fight ever. Where someone ate in Loch Haven, PA is now a fight…..Nicely done.I’m sure the I bet not was in agreement to the not many having t shirt comment. Not lunch who I think the poster was genuinely interested in where you ate lunch.
Now that's Iowa(wrestling board) styleThis seems like the weirdest fight ever. Where someone ate in Loch Haven, PA is now a fight…..Nicely done.
No it’s not, he took you to mean the campus , you are in town. Who cares?Well, when I say I stopped in Lock Haven to have lunch, and somebody says "I bet not" that's basically accusing me of lying. You're (correct usage of the word) wrong. Wow, your (correct usage of the word) reply with that was stupid.
Came to the Iowa board to see what was new in Hawkeye land. Maybe some interesting transfer, recruiting or injury news. Nope, the biggest news here is if someone ate lunch on the Loch Haven campus or not.No it’s not, he took you to mean the campus , you are in town. Who cares?

I know. The important debate is what style of pizza he coulda/shoulda eaten in Loch Haven, on campus or not. Jeez, stay focused folks.Came to the Iowa board to see what was new in Hawkeye land.

Well it was, fortunately or unfortunately, burgers and not pizza. And by the way I didn't see Wyatt Henson anywhere. I know... slow wrestling times.
Actually - "I bet not" would infer that no way in hell you'd want to eat there. I would never assume it was accusing you of lying. I think you overreacted just a bit here.Well, when I say I stopped in Lock Haven to have lunch, and somebody says "I bet not" that's basically accusing me of lying.
