Delone Catholic's Dallas Brown fought the good fight but in the end couldn't solve the defense of Line Mountain's Jon Fausey in a 7-5 loss for the PIAA Class AA 189-pound championship.
Fausey showed an excellent variety of offense, scoring three takedowns on three different moves while giving Brown no openings in his defense. The Squire senior had trouble getting anything started offensively against the taller Fausey, a Team Diesel teammate in the off-season, but did finally hit a takedown with 32 seconds remaining in the bout but it was too late as he was unable to turn the Eagle senior to his back for nearfall points.
Brown finishes his senior season with a 36-4 record and his second straight state tournament medal. Last season, the University of Maryland-bound wrestler was fourth at 189 pounds.
