Comet seniors who won were Bobby Rehm, Ryan Costerella and Evan Singleton. James McElroy won by forfeit.
Penn Manor posted wins in matches with wrestlers Matt Schneider, Austin Stetler and Colby Graham. Deion Valentine won through forfeit.
“I like to go hard on senior night,” said wrestling stand out Rehm before the match. “But the guy I’m wrestling has had two concussions this year, so I’m going to take it easy.”
