1/30/06 The first ever home playoff match never materialized today, because Beth-Center called the WPIAL and forfieted. Apparently they were down to four healthy wrestlers, and felt it was best to forfiet. West Greene beat Mars so the Rams head to the Waynesburg area and the near two hour drive to take on the Pioneers on Wednseday at 7:00. The winner advances to the semifinals at North Allegheny on Friday at 6:00 to face most likely the #2 team in the state, Mount Pleasant for the right to qualify for the WPIAL finals and the state playoffs.
The Rams finished out the regular season in 2nd place in section 1-AA and will host Beth Center on Monday, July 30th for the opening round.
