Only six wrestlers have reached the 100-win plateau during their scholastic careers at Keystone Oaks High School.

All six joined the WPIAL Century Club during their fourth season with the varsity.

Anthony Zanetta can become the Golden Eagles' seventh Century Club member this season, but could reach triple-digits much quicker than the other six. Zanetta recorded 70 victories in his first two seasons at Keystone Oaks and enters his junior year with a legitimate shot of reaching the century mark in only three seasons.

"My family's dedication to the sport of wrestling has played a big part in my success," said Zanetta, referring to his father, Jay, who recently ended a long coaching stint with the Little Eagles, the KO youth program, and his brother, J.J., who recently completed his collegiate career at Mercyhurst College.

"J.J. was a two-time NCAA Division II All-American at Mercyhurst. He's been working with me a lot over the summer."

J.J. Zanetta, a 2003 KO graduate, ranks No. 4 on Keystone Oaks' all-time victory list with a 109-20 career record. Myles Caragein, a 2007 graduate, holds the school record for victories with an impressive 138-18 record.

"This past season was incredible," said Anthony Zanetta. "We had the first PIAA champion and the first PIAA runner-up in school history. It was incredible to be a part of it."

Jesse Byerly and Caragein advanced to the PIAA Class AA finals, and Byerly became the school's first state champion.

"In the past, wrestlers at Keystone Oaks could only dream of what it's like to make it to the state finals," said Zanetta. "This year, we got a chance to see what it takes to be a state champion.

"There's no reason why I can't follow in their footsteps. That's why I'm working so hard over the summer."

Zanetta broke into the starting lineup at Keystone Oaks as a 103-pound freshman, with the Golden Eagles competing in Class AAA. He won a section title and finished sixth in the WPIAL and finished his varsity debut with a 34-8 record.

Keystone Oaks dropped to Class AA for the 2006-07 season, and Zanetta earned his first PIAA berth while entered at 112 pounds. He won a second section title, then placed second in the WPIAL, and first in the Southwest Region, before posting a 1-2 record at Hershey.

"I faced a returning state place-winner [Matt Yocco of Brandywine Heights] and beat him, 4-2," said Zanetta. "I then lost a close decision [7-4] to the eventual runner-up, Evan Yenolevich [of Northwestern Lehigh]."

In the consolation bracket, Zanetta faced Pottstown's Seth Ecker, another returning PIAA place-winner, and dropped a 4-2 decision.

"I was a little disappointed with my performance at Hershey, but it gives me a lot of incentive coming into my junior year," said Zanetta. "My goal is to become Keystone Oaks' second state champion."

Zanetta has a new head coach this year, as Brian Hutchin has taken over after 10 seasons as a varsity assistant.

"The transition from coach [Dave] Colley to coach Hutchin should go smooth since he's been with the program so long," said Zanetta.

He noted that Hutchin is a Keystone Oaks alumnus.

Zanetta has been training all summer with Jim Akerly and the Quest Wrestling Club.

"I've been working out three times a week at Quest and once a week at Keystone Oaks," said Zanetta, who is looking forward to this weekend's trip to New Jersey for the Jersey Duals.

"There are some of the best club teams in the Eastern part of the county at this tournament."

Zanetta was a member of last year's Quest champions.

"I wrestled at 105 pounds and had a 3-1 record. It was a great experience," he said.
