After two weeks of voting, Mat Madness 2018 is completed. 64 of the best wrestlers in Canonsburg and Canon-McMillan wrestling have been narrowed down to just 1 champion. With a record 246 votes throughout the tournament, the champion of Mat Madness 2018 is. . . Mark Angle!
Angle was a wrestler at CMHS in the 1990’s before he attended Clarion University. The #1 seed of the Gold Age Division (80’s & 90’s) made his way through the tournament by defeating Jim Harriot, Brad Mockler, and Ron Rothka. A win against Bruce Cridge in his division finals sent him to the final four against Colin Johnston. The final victory came in the championship bout by defeating Joe Solomon of the Gunners Division. Mark Angle was the ultimate victor amongst 64 other competitors across four divisions. In his personal career, 4 Section titles, 4 WPIAL titles, 1 State title, and 3 NCAA placings place Angle as one of the greatest Pennsylvania wrestlers of all time.

Welcome to Mat Madness 2018! It’s been asked on Facebook, at matches, and behind closed doors, “Who is the BEST wrestler to come out of Canon Mac?” Well, it’s time to decide in March Madness bracket style.
We’ve set up a 64-man bracket with the top 16 wrestlers from 4 different eras: Gunners (30’s-50’s), Blue (60’s-70’s), Gold (80’s-90’s), and Modern (00’s-10’s). The wrestlers were chosen and seeded based upon an algorithm of their amount of High School Section, WPIAL, State titles and Collegiate NCAA placings. We have excluded any wrestlers currently in High School because they have not finished their career yet.
The tournament will take place over 6 rounds and complete within two weeks. What’s the criteria on voting? It’s up to you: who would win in a match, who has more accomplishments, who has had the better career, etc.
Schedule:
Round 1: February 22
Round 2: Feburary 26
Division Semifinals: February 28
Division Finals: March 2
Final Four: March 5
Championship: March 7
