Greater Latrobe’s Gabe Willochell wrestles Nazareth’s Drew Clearie in the 132-pound class AAA quarterfinal during the PIAA state wrestling tournament on Friday, March 8, 2019 at the Giant Center in Hershey.
Latrobe senior Gabe Willochell was one of six wrestlers to sign letters of intent to attend Edinboro.

He is ranked No. 3 in the PIAA Class AAA preseason rankings and begins his senior season with a 97-26 career record.
