The boys then advanced to the semi-finals going against Fort LeBeouf. W. Swan got a win, C. Braswell got a pin in overtime, L. Hodak got a win, W. Allen won by a medical forfeit by his opponent, and then K. Albers won by a forfeit. In the end the Beavers only scored 24 points, losing to the Bison with the score of 33-24.
The boys went home after the semis and are not eligible for states. They have one more match at Saegertown this coming Monday, but this match is not affiliated to anything within the state bracket so they can’t fight their way back to states as a team. At this point of the season it is now an individual post-season. This means that only individuals can win a way to states on their own and not affiliated with the team as a whole. There are no names mentioned yet on who will be going to states from the Corry Beavers.
