Score was 2-2 in the 3rd, and Rayhart got the esc to go up 3-2, which is how it ended.
Semi 2: Francis Duggan (SC-2, Cumberland Valley, 9th) vs. Jan Johnson (SC-3, Governor Mifflin, 12th)
PSU football walk-on (and returning State Champ) Johnson keeps things rolling with a 3-0 victory. He had a TD in the 2nd, and then a rideout in the 3rd.
Final will be Tommy Rayhart (SC-1, Big Spring, 12th) vs. Jan Johnson (SC-3, Governor Mifflin, 12th)

Spiller up 3-0 in the 2nd. That score holds thru the 3rd, so Spiller wins 3-0.

Finals will be Bo Spiller (SC-1, Solanco, 12th) vs. Andrew Dunn (NE-1, Beca, 12th)
Appears that the WPIAL has 13 finalists in Class AAA and 8 finalists in Class AA. That is amazing. No argument as to where the best wrestling in the Commonwealth is this year.
