Peters Township is the only local wrestling team to get hosting rights for the WPIAL Section Team Tournaments Wednesday.

The Indians, champions of Section 2-B in Class AAA, will take on Connellsville and Belle Vernon battles Upper St. Clair in first-round dual meets at 6 p.m. The winners meet for the section title and the losers compete for third place. Those matches will be held immediately after the semifinals, about 7:30 p.m., at each of the sites.

Thomas Jefferson travels to Mt. Lebanon for a 7 p.m. fifth-place bout in Section 2.

The top five teams in each of the four Class AAA sections and three Class AA sections qualify for the WPIAL Team Tournament, which will be held the week of Feb. 1.

Canon-McMillan and Waynesburg are competing at the West Allegheny site; Chartiers-Houston, South Fayette and Burgettstown are at Freedom; and Beth-Center and McGuffey are at the Derry site. Trinity, Fort Cherry and Mapletown are in fifth-place bouts at different sites.

Only the losing team from the fifth-place match is eliminated. The remaining teams are competing for seeding for the WPIAL Team Tournament.
