Odds and ends
Waynesburg's 38-28 win over Trinity Wednesday night clears a path for the Raiders to claim second place in Section 4A. But they have to beat McGuffey next Wednesday. If the Raiders lose to the Highlanders, then that will probably mean Trinity, McGuffey and Waynesburg will be tied for second place and each team would have a win over the other.
So the WPIAL tiebreaker system would decide the second- third and fourth-place finisher in the section. You might need to set aside some time to figure it out.
Here is the WPIAL tiebreaking system: (Bold faces are mine to help you out)
b) The team whose opposing wrestlers or team personnel has been penalized the greater number of team point deductions shall be declared the winner.
c) The team having won the greater number of matches (including forfeits) shall be declared the winner.
d) The team having accumulated the greater total number of falls, defaults, forfeits, and disqualifications shall be declared the winner.
e) The team having the greater number of technical falls shall be declared the winner.
f) The team having the greater number of major decisions shall be declared the winner.
g) The team having the greater number of total match points shall be declared the winner.
h) If none of the above resolves the tie, a flip of a disk will determine the winner.

Approximately 600 people were on had to watch the Waynesburg-Trinity wrestling match in Waynesburg, but the crowd was strangely quiet during a really exciting match. Waynesburg jumped out to an early lead, then Trinity came roaring back. The Raiders held them off, 38-28.
The crowd reaction was more suited to a dance recital than a wrestling match.
It's odd because both fan bases were well represented and these schools normally have rabid fans. They didn't sit on their hands, but they also didn't seem to react to some really good bouts.
Maybe it's just a holiday hangover, but it certainly was surprising.
So next time, go ahead and make some noise.

In other Class AAA section races, Peters Township can finish undefeated in Section 2B with a victory over Upper St. Clair next Wednesday.
In Class AA, Burgettstown can win the outright title in Section 1B with a victory over Beaver Wednesday. Chartiers-Houston and South Fayette will meet for the Section 1A title and Jefferson-Morgan will wrap up the Section 2A title with a win over Mapletown.

The section team tournaments work like this:
1. All matches are held Wednesday, Jan. 23.
2. Each first-place finisher in the A subsection wrestles the second-place finisher in the B subsection.
3. Each first-place finisher in the B subsection wrestles the second-place finisher in the A subsection.
4. The winners meet for the section title.
5. The losers meet for third and fourth place.
6. The third-place teams in the A and B subsections meet for the fifth and final berth in the WPIAL Team Tournament. Winner is in; loser goes home.

Joe, pretty sure the tie breaker you listed is for a dual meets only. Does anyone know how the tie is broken among 3 teams? Total points scored in section dual meets?
No, I'm pretty sure this is what we're talking about. It's the dual meet tiebreaker for the section tournament. This is what's listed on their web site under the section tournament procedures.
