Saegertown eliminates South Fayette
Saegertown won nine of the first 11 bouts to blow out South Fayette, 40-12, in a preliminary-round match in the PIAA Class AA Wrestling Team Tournament Monday in Saegertown.

Saegertown’s Cody Mulligan handed South Fayette’s Jared Walker, a state runner-up last season at 160, his third loss of the season, 3-2.
Jared Ruhl (120) had a pin for Saegertown.
