Big Macs in finals

The rematch is on.

Canon-McMillan, the defending champion in the PIAA Class AAA Team Tournament, and Central Dauphin, the six-time District 6 champion and bitter loser to the Big Macs in last year’s semifinals, will meet again to decide this year’s team winner.

The Big Macs got there with what is becoming a trademark come-from-behind victory, 37-35, over Easton in the semifinals Friday night in the Giant Center in Hershey. Earlier in the day, CM defeated Erie McDowell, 35-27, in a rematch of last year’s state team finals.

Central Dauphin got to this point with a 41-25 victory over Franklin Regional in the semifinals and a 32-27 win over Parkland in the quarterfinals.

“Electric. That’s the only word I can think of to describe what I think it will be like,” said Big Macs heavyweight Angelo Broglia of the CD match. “It’s going to be tough, but you never go in there thinking you’re going to lose.”

Easton had two pins to start the dual meet, both at 31 seconds to go up 12-0. But Canon-mac took contorl with four pins in five bouts, one each by defending state champion Cody Wiercioch at 182, Alex Campbell at 220, Angelo Broglia atheavyweight and Brendon Price at 106.

Dalton Macri and Connor Schram each won by technical fall.

Devon Gibson (152), Evan Disora (160) and Tyler Greene (194) had pins for Easton.
