Impressive performances were delivered by Gus Stedeford (107), Bentrim (127) and Cullens (145) with pinfall victories. The Tigers held a 30-9 lead before the Raiders came storming back to win the final six bouts.
With a 2-2 performance in pool action, North Allegheny earned the right to face Peters Township in the fifth-place consolation match. The Tigers jumped out to an 18-0 lead on early pin falls by Walker (114), Griffen Reid (121) and Bentrim (127) and never looked back enroute to the victory over the Indians.
