With the WPIAL Team Wrestling Playoffs starting next week, the steering committee got a hand Wednesday night with the team sectionals taking place at seven different sites. With the five matches in the books from each site, each section has its five teams now ranked from one to five. The WPIAL will use the results to bracket both the Class AAA and Class AA team playoffs. Here are ALL of the final results with Kiski Area, Connellsville, Hampton, Canon-McMillan, Chartiers-Houston, Jefferson-Morgan and Burrell crowned section champions.
