Johnston, Ryan lose
Colin Johnston failed to repeat as champion and Matt Ryan repeated his second-place finish Saturday night in the PIAA Class AAA Wrestling Championships.
Johnston dropped a 13-8 decision to Chris Houser of Governor Mifflin while Ryan lost a 6-3 decision to Quentin Wright of Bald Eagle Area.
Johnston fell behind early as Wright used one his two tilts for a 5-2 lead after one period. Johnston, who won at 112 last season, was down, 7-3, after two periods. Houser's lead ballooned to 12-3 with 1:27 remaining.
Wright took control of his match when he rolled out of a first-period takedown attempt and scooted around for a takedown and 2-0 lead. Ryan gave up an escape in the second period and a takedown in the third.
Other area Class AAA placewinners included Matt Scherich of McGuffey, who finished fourth at 125; Waynesburg's Ethan Headlee, who was seventh at 152; and Nick Garber, who was sixth at 130; and Trinity's Grant Lowther, who took fourth at 130.
