NA Wrestling Sweeps McDowell, Pine-Richland At Tri-Meet
The North Allegheny boys’ wrestling team hosted a tri-meet against the McDowell Trojans and Pine-Richland Rams on Friday night. In a non-section meet to open the evening, the Tigers defeated the Trojans, 66-12. The night cap was the section opener for the Tigers and NA claimed a convincing 55-14 triumph over the Rams.
Against McDowell, North Allegheny started the night with a dominating performance and picked up 11 wins, all by pin fall.

In the section opener, North Allegheny led 21-3 before Pine-Richland posted back-to-back wins, one pin and one tech fall, to cut the score to 21-14.
