The All-Delco first team includes:
Anthony Petril, Upper Darby: A second-team All-Delco selection last season, the senior compiled a 33-7 record for a 97-17 career mark and was ranked fifth at 106 in the final PA-Wrestling.com District 1 rankings. For the second consecutive year, he finished runner-up in sectionals and placed third at districts — including a tough 3-2 loss to the eventual district champ.
Austin Petril, Upper Darby: The two-time All-Delco was a rock that Royals coach Bob Martin could rely on, compiling a 117-18 mark over his four seasons. He ended his career with three consecutive sectional titles and a 32-3 season record — with just one loss heading into districts. He might team up with his twin brother Anthony at Ursinus.
Michael Marino, Garnet Valley: A finalist for Wrestler of the Year consideration, the three-time All-Delco set the Jaguars program record for wins with a 147-33 career record. A three-time champ at sectionals and districts, Marino never finished worse than third in three regionals and culminated his 39-10 campaign with his second consecutive sixth-place finish at states. His college plans are not finalized.
Pat Callaghan, Marple Newtown: A breakout star for first-year coach Pat Crater, the senior went from a third-team All-Delco selection last season to the Outstanding Wrestler at the Central League championships, where he won the 126-pound title. Callaghan won sectional and district championships, placed fourth at regionals and his magical 35-4 campaign improved his career mark to 88-24. He will attend the University of Pittsburgh.
Dennis Charamella, Springfield: Charamella made a quantum leap in his performance as a senior for the Cougars. He went 34-5 to improve his career mark to 91-48, won a sectional title after finishing no higher than fourth in three previous seasons, and was district runner-up after failing to place in his first three trips. He will play lacrosse at the University of Tampa.
Sean Lyons, Garnet Valley: A third-team All-Delco selection last season, the versatile senior consistently wrestled up at 152 and 160 to help the Central League champion Jaguars become the first Delco program to qualify for the state duals. Lyons went 28-11, finished runner-up at sectionals and placed third at districts. He plans to attend Villanova.
Tom Meyers, Radnor: This junior stepped up to provide leadership for the Raiders, going unbeaten over his first 31 matches and improving on his previous year’s runner-up finish to take the sectional championship. Meyers also reached the finals at districts in closing out his campaign at 31-3 and boosting his career mark to 81-15.
Johnny Dambro, Garnet Valley: A finalist for Wrestler of the Year consideration, the two-time All-Delco fashioned a remarkable 41-6 campaign that included his third consecutive sectional championship, his first district and regional titles and a return trip to states where he claimed a sixth-place medal. After finishing his Jags career at 114-39, Dambro is headed to Millersville.
Liam Frank, Penncrest: The sophomore proved that he is the real deal, earning his second All-Delco selection with a 32-7 season. Frank captured his second sectional title and won the district crown after finishing runner-up as freshman. Even with a 60-15 career mark, he should be extra motivated to claim his first regional medal.
