Who should be thankful?
The lack of wrestlers in the Section 4-AA Tournament was appalling. It got even worse when 11 pulled out right before the start. But with every bit of bad news, someone profits and this tournament was no different. So I present to you the wrestlers who have a lot to be thankful for, particularly for qualifying for next week's WPIAL Championships.
Joey Schneider, Chartiers-Houston, 135 pounds, 12-15 record, pinned an 11-15 kid from South Park to earn third place and wrestle another day.
Martin Walker, South Park, 145, 10-19, pinned a 5-15 wrestler from C-H to take third.
Keith Watson, West Greene, 152, 13-17, decisioned a 10-16 kid for third place.
John Emerick, South Park, 171, won third place with a 7-9 record.
Eddie Zeglen, Jeff-Morgn, came into the tournament 4-8 and finished second. . . . because there were only two heavyweights in the weight class.
Danny Herrington, West Greene, pinned Zeglen, wins title with 11-12 record.
In life, timing is everything.

Mr. Tuscano,
I agree that the section tournement at the AA level is waste, but lets not put down the kids that are competing regardless of their record.
The AA tournement should go straight to the WPIALs eliminating the AA sections. The section tournements are a waste of a week, seemingly making the season even longer. It is a money making racket for the WPIAL. There is not one good argument that supports the section tournements at the AA level. All their previous arguements can be disputed by this years section tournement and the low participation that has taken place.
