HERSHEY — Familiar faces are nice, but familiar foes can be trouble — at least in wrestling, where the more two grapplers meet, the greater the likelihood they learn each other’s style. So when it happens five times in five weeks — or even three times in three weeks — it’s more like a class reunion. That was the case for two Juniata wrestlers — Zac Beitz (125 pounds) and Dan Fultz (285), both of whom made their way to today’s medal round through a couple old friends in the consolation bracket of the PIAA Class AA wrestling championships. Seth Beitz (140), who entered the day as the last top-bracket wrestler from his school, earned a rematch with an old friend, too — Schuylkill Valley’s Colin Shober. In the state final. Beitz goes to today’s championship match after a huge 8-2 semifinal decision over North Star’s Richard Baker, like Beitz, a finisher outside the final of his region.
