Stuck in second

I understand why they do it but I don't think it's a good idea. Because Norwin has two gymnasiums, the WPIAL used the auxilary gym to wrestle four weight classes in the Class AAA championships. One of them was 215, where the biggest upset of the night took place. . . in front of 200 people. The other 2,000 were in the main gym. Hempfield's T.J. Valore was pinned by Indiana's Dayne Ross, who had to fight through a pigtail bout just to meet Valore.

Yes, the second gymnasium, which was just used for the first night, speeded things up and that was nice for the media's deadlines and parents who had long drives home. But you always take a chance that someone good is going to lose and few people will see it if it happens in the auxilary gym.

Those type of upsets are what makes a tournament memorable. Everyone has their own upset special. Be thankful you saw it in the main gym.
