<B>Cheswick Christian School 54, Portersville Christian 42 — </B>Jordan Harbison had 12 points and Scott Burton added nine more, but the Warriors fell in this home contest Saturday.

At the Hempfield Duals on Saturday, Butler defeated West Mifflin 49-18, but lost to Meadville 36-34, Hopewell 39-33, Norwin 37-30 and to host and WPIAL champion Hempfield 49-13.The Tornado (7-14) forfeited at 112 and 119 throughout.Josh Pascazi (152 and 160 pounds) went 5-0 with three pins, a technical fall and a major decision while Derek Hays (135) and Marino Quercio (215) went 4-1, Ian McLaughlin (125) was 3-1, Dave Jaillet (103) and Alex Evanoff (145) each went 3-2."Josh Pascazi really dominated," said Butler coachScott Stoner. "He's the one person showing increasing improvement throughout the year ... Derek was definitely a bright spot. He provided some leadership."After almost seven weeks off due to post-concussion symptons, McLaughlin returned to action. He did not wrestle in the final match against West Mifflin, instead going to the hospital to be checked out for further observation after wrestling four matches had taken its toll.A win by McLaughlin against Hopewell, which was the last weight class of the bout, would have given Butler the win, but a weakened McLaughlin allowed a takedown with seven seconds left.A vigorous scramble by McLaughlin to try to escape left the wrestler tapped out."He was very gallant in his effort," said Stoner.
