The best team in Class AAA ...

... isn't even in Class AAA. Mt. Pleasant has separated itself as the best Class AA team in the WPIAL and, judging by the Trinity Elite Duals, is also the best WPIAL team in Class AAA. The Vikings defeated Trinity and Kiski in the duals and looked strong enough to be a force in the Triple-A team tournament, despite not being eligible because of its Class AA status.

Connellsville, the state's defending Class AAA team champion, has lost too much talent from last season and has too many young and inexperienced wrestlers to repeat. In fact, had Canon-McMillan not wrestled so poorly in December's dual meet against the Falcons, the Big Macs could have easily won. Waynesburg beat Connellsville on criteria over the weekend and Kiski showed it has some weak spots in losing to Mt. Pleasant in the Elite Duals.

Trinity can't be feeling good about its chances now, after losing to Albert Gallatin and North Allegheny in their Elite Duals. The Hillers received two forfeits in a 9-point loss to Albert Gallatin and two more in a 9-point loss to NA, Ouch.
