Wrestling Weekend: AA Regional, AAA Sections

February 22, 2020 3:40 am

Double-A wrestlers who survived last weekend’s WPIAL, District 5 or District 6 tournaments are gathered at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for the PIAA Southwest Regional Tournament.  Six qualifiers in each weightclass will advance to the PIAA Championships in Hershey. Regional action resumes Saturday morning with consolations and semifinals at 10 am with finals scheduled for Saturday at 5:30 pm.  Of the 28 Washington/Greene wrestlers who qualified for the regional tournament, 18 are still alive.  Burgettstown has six of those including Shane & Riley Kemper in the semifinals.  Jeff-Morgan’s Jonathan Wolfe is also in the semis.  We’ll have complete live coverage on WJPA-AM (1450) and online Listen Here.

Triple-A wrestlers have waited since the end of the WPIAL/PIAA Team Tournaments for their individual tournaments to get started.  That wait ends Saturday when the League holds four Section tournaments with the top five placewinners advancing to the WPIAL AAA Championships. You can hear the WPIAL Section 4-AAA Tournament from Chartiers Valley Saturday on WJPA-FM (95.3) and online Listen Here.  Follow all of the individual wrestling tournament action on the WJPA Wrestling PageClick Here

Note: Our Section 4-AAA wrestling coverage will be interrupted at 12:50 pm for our broadcast of the Trinity/Gateway 5A Basketball Quarterfinal.  We will update action at halftime and return to wrestling immediately following the game. This is the ONLY wrestling coverage interruption of the entire PIAA Individual Championship Series and we appreciate your understanding.
