Matt Prestifilippo-North Penn - 112 lb.

North Penn Junior Matt Prestifillippo (33-3) saw his chances for a State Championship end due to some anxious starts in the Ultimate Tiebreaker. Taylor Brown (39-8), a Senior from Emmaus High, was awarded a point for what the official deemed a second caution on a restart by Prestifillippo. To the fans' disagreement, The Giant Center erupted into a frenzy of boos towards the official. The caution point awarded in the Ultimate Tiebreaker period awarded Brown the point to go ahead 3-2 for a birth in tonight's State Championships against returning 103 lb. State Champion Shane Young (43-0) of Penn Trafford.
