Mike Vukovcan The Hopewell HS boys’ and girls’ basketball teams aren’t the only athletes from Hopewell competing in the WPIAL playoffs.
Congratulations to four members of the Hopewell HS wrestling team that have earned their way to the WPIAL playoffs next weekend.
Yesterday at the Class AA Southern Sectionals at Burgettstown, Christian Tirado, Justin Obeldobel, Vinny Boris and Evan Tirado all earned a spot at next weekends’ WPIAL playoffs.
From this day long tournament, the top 8 wrestlers in each weight classification earn the opportunity to advance. Tirado finished in 3rd place, Obeldobel finished in 4th place, while both Boris and Tirado each placed 5th in their classification.
For Obeldobel, who is a senior, this will be the 3rd time in his career that he’s qualified for the WPIAL wrestling playoffs, for fellow senior Boris, it will be his second time. Tirado, a sophomore, has made it in back-back years and congrats to Tirado, who’s a freshman, this is obviously will be his first time.
These 4 Vikings will start journey for hopefully a WPIAL championship next weekend at Chartiers Valley High School.
Congratulations to these 4 men but also to HC Brett Smith and the Hopewell wrestling program for their development.
