The WPIAL is head of the class in Pennslyvania. Numbers don’t lie.

Today’s WPIAL semifinals will feature a total of 45 wrestlers who hold a PA Class AAA State Ranking in the Top 20. Not to mention 8 of those wrestlers are ranked #1 in the State.

Semifinal winners punch tickets to Hershey but for many WPIAL wrestlers their sights are way beyond just making the trip. They intend on leaving there with PIAA State hardware.
