Pennsylvania dominates Border Brawl with 13 W’s

JOHNSTOWN — Team Pennsylvania won 13 of 18 bouts, including both head-to-head matches between state champions, in a 51-18 victory over Team Maryland/West Virginia in the Border Brawl Mason-Dixon Wrestling Classic at Richland High School on Sunday.

Chestnut Ridge’s Justin McCoy was named Pennsylvania’s Outstanding Wrestler after his 13-4 major decision over Davy Mundey of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, in the feature bout at 152 pounds. McCoy, who was a PIAA champion in 2017 and finished second earlier this month, scored five takedowns over Mundey, who won a West Virginia title this season and was a runner-up a year ago.

In the other bout involving a pair of state champions, Bishop McCort Catholic’s Anthony Walters and Petersburg, West Virginia’s, Jackson Moomau were tied after 41/2 minutes of regulation. A one-minute overtime period also couldn’t break the deadlock, sending the match to ultimate tiebreaker. Walters escaped for a 2-1 victory.

Josh Small of Catoctin, Md., was named the Maryland/West Virginia Outstanding Wrestler after he edged Penn Cambria’s Jarred Stoy, 3-2, at 160 pounds. Small scored a second-period escape. Stoy briefly took the lead with a third-period reversal, but Small immediately countered with a reversal of his own and held on for the victory.

Team Pennsylvania is 3-0 all time in the event, which pits high school senior wrestlers from west-central Pennsylvania against their counterparts from Maryland and West Virginia. Proceeds from the event benefit Pin Cancer.
