Brady Berge, Anthony Cassar state cases for starting spots in Penn State wrestling’s lineup

Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson said during media day two weeks ago that the Keystone Classic might serve as public wrestle-offs for a few weight classes.

If Sanderson holds true to that statement, then Brady Berge and Anthony Cassar just earned the starting spots at 149 and 285 pounds, respectively.

Each had to go through teammates en route to their weight classes’ final.

Cassar was one of eight champions crowned for the Nittany Lions on Sunday inside the famed Palestra in Philadelphia. The other champs were Roman Bravo-Young (133 pounds), Nick Lee (141), Jason Nolf (157), Vincenzo Joseph (165), Mark Hall (174), Shakur Rasheed (184) and Bo Nickal (197).
