Tune into WONB 94.9 FM on Friday at 8:30 a.m. to hear Ada senior Chase Sumner talk about his commitment to wrestle and continue his education at the University of Pittsburgh next year.
On this week’s edition of ‘The Pep Talk’ with Grant Pepper, Sumner discussed why he chose Pitt, as he had offers from other Div. I schools like Buffalo to consider as well.
“They’re a young program so they can’t go anywhere but up. I love the coaching staff, I love the campus down there, just about everything,” Sumner said. “And my biggest thing was, how high is my ceiling? What’s my full potential? And I feel like I can reach that the most at Pitt.”
