Pennsylvania Dapper Dan Team Announced
With a total of 15 State Champions coming from the WPIAL it is no wonder 9 of 13 participants on the Pennsylvania Dapper Dan Team are WPIAL wrestlers. Franklin Regional leads the way with three wrestlers; Devin Brown, Michael Kemerer and Josh Shields. District 3 has a total of three selections with 2x PIAA State Champion Jan Johnson, 3x State Finalist Korbin Myers, and surprise choice David Pipa. District 11 is the only other District represented with Bethlehem Catholic senior Andrew Dunn returning to 220 lbs. for the Dapper Dan.
