CM’s Perry, Simcox into Powerade semifinals

CANONSBURG, PA – Central Mountain High School has advanced two Wildcat wrestlers into the Friday morning semifinal round of the prestigious Powerade tournament at Canon-McMillan High School.

At 133 pounds defending AAA state champion Dalton Perry did it the hard way. Tied 3-3 after regulation against defending AA state champion Scott Johnson from Muncy, Perry hit a 5-point move for an 8-3 sudden overtime victory.

Luke Simcox, a junior and two-time PIAA place-winner for the Wildcats took his 139 pound quarterfinal match by a 6-0 count over Connor Saylor of Hickory.

One other Wildcat remains alive in the consolations: junior Rocco Serafini at 189 pounds will be in consolation round six on Friday. Serafini stayed alive Thursday night with a 4-1 win over D. Reed of Orting, WA.

Central Mountain is 15^th in the team race with 59.5 points. Wyoming Seminary leads with 135.5 and Malvern Prep is second with 119. State College is in 12^th place with 65 points.
