285 pounder Brooks Hendershot (10-11) had the exact same fate as Guiher, as he reached the semis and lost his last three matches to match Guiher’s sixth place finish.
The only other Tide wrestler to reach Saturday’s wrestling was Alex Murawski (20-13), also competing at 172, who won his first consolation match on the day, but fell one win short of placing.
The Tide (8-12) will take place in the 2024 District 9 Team Wrestling Championships next Saturday at Brookville High School. The number seven seeded Tide will face the number two seed Port Allegany at 10:00 AM in the quarterfinals.
