BOB FLOUNDERS and DUSTIN HOCKENSMITH, The Patriot-News
AAA 119 POUNDS
Franklin Regional's Nico Megaludis out-lasted Liberty's Anthony Marino, using constant pressure in the final period to win an 8-4 decision. Megaludis, the state champ at 112 pounds last season, scored a late takedown to put the finishing touches on the victory.
AA 130 POUNDS
Joe Spisak, Boiling Springs, def. Frank Martellotti, Shady Side Academy, 4-3. Comment: Spisak, a four-time placewinner, finally nabs the elusive gold on an escape with four seconds to go. Spisak scored a takedown late in the second period to take a 2-1 lead before Martellotti tied it 3-3 on a takedown with 25 seconds left.
AAA 145 POUNDS
Central Mountain's Andrew Alton won his second straight PIAA title with a 23-8 technicall fall over West Allegheny's Aaron McKinney. Alton tore through the 145 bracket with two pins and two technicall falls, in which he totaled 50 combined points.
AAA 152 POUNDS
Dylan Alton used a quick flurry to grab an early lead and cruise to an 11-4 victory over Lasalle's Shane Springer. Dylan Alton one-upped twin brother Andrew with his third straight PIAA gold medal.
AA 160 POUNDS
Eric Hess, Benton, def. Dirk Cowburn, Couderspot, 1-0. Comment: Disappointing final from an action standpoint but give credit to Hess, a returning champ, for thwarting Cowburn's bid to become a three-time gold medalist. A second-period escape is all of the scoring as Cowburn can't get going from bottom agianst the lanky Hess in the third.
