Stanford commit Greyson Music
Bishop McDevitt visited Wilson this week in a battle between two of the top wrestling programs in Pennsylvania. It was a memorable trip to Berks County for 145-pound junior Greyson Music. The Stanford commit pinned freshman Luke Brownback in just 42 seconds to earn his 100th career win. "To get my 100th win where I grew up in Reading, it's a very special moment. I'd like to thank my teammates and everybody who's got me here," Music told SV Sports' Paul Roberts. The Crusaders defeated the Bulldogs 44-19 on Tuesday night. Music is part of a lineup that is loaded with talent. Braiden Lotier (114), Aiken Smith (121), Nicky Negron (160) and Ryan Lengal (189) all won by fall. Lotier, a junior who's committed to Bucknell, claimed the PIAA-2A championship at 107 pounds last year. Seniors Easton Comp and Liam Lawler have both surpassed 100 career wins. Comp is headed to Kutztown University and Lawler will be attending Edinboro. 107-pound senior Blake Klipp got the match started with a 5-2 sudden victory over Wilson freshman Rhys Schaffer. Klipp will continue his wrestling career at Division I Bloomsburg. Cam Baum, who has been out of action since December 30th, finished second in the state the past two years at 133 and 139 pounds respectively. The senior with 107 career victories is going to Purdue. "Practices at McDevitt are really hard. We're always switching up partners. We've got top 10 and top 25 guys in the nation," emphasized Music.
He has been very close to capturing state gold. Music took home a silver medal as a freshman at 121 pounds. Last year, he ended up third at 127 pounds in the PIAA-2A tournament. Music is hoping to become a state champion this season. "It would mean a lot. These past few years coming up short of my ultimate goal, it's been hard. Through perseverance, hard work and mindset, I think I'll be able to get it this year," he replied. Music has moved up from 127 to 145 pounds. "I think the skill set is still the same. I'm cutting a lot less weight and feeling a lot better in my new weight class," noted Music. He has a record of (17-2) this winter. Music, who went (44-8) as a sophomore, also excels in the classroom with a 4.2 GPA. Stanford was a perfect fit for him. "I was always big on academics. I always wanted to do the best in school that I could. I kept my grades up. I kept doing well in school and they came calling," said Music.
