HYDE — The Williamsport wrestling team crowned one champion and picked up a total of four placewinners at Saturday’s District 4-9 Class AAA Wrestling Tournament at Clearfield High School.

Second-seeded Riley Hilner upended Shikellamy’s John Supsic, the top seed at 126, in the finals at Arthur J. Weiss Gymnasium, pinning him with a headlock at 1:26 of the first period.

Hilner, who pinned his way to the finals by decking Clearfield’s Jude Pallo in the semifinals and DuBois’ Josh Myers in the quarters, led Supsic 2-0 when he put him on his back.

Williamsport’s only top seed — 138-pounder Richard Lowrie — was pinned by St. Marys’ Alex Bittler in 3:17 in their finals bout. Bittler led Lowrie 5-2 when he reversed him to his back in the second period.

Millionaire 132-pounder Cam Dickey upset second-seeded Bryce Reichenbach of Selinsgrove 5-4 in the semis before falling to DuBois’ top-seeded Kolby Ho by 21-6 technical fall in the championship match.

Dickey scored a 17-6 major decision over Clearfield’s Quentin Edwards in the quarterfinals.

Williamsport also got 152-pounder Anthony Robinson through to next week’s Northwest Regional at the Altoona Fieldhouse by virtue of his fourth-place finish. Robinson lost a 7-0 decision in the consolation finals to Punxsutawney’s Stone Smith. Smith pinned Robinson in the quarterfinals.

The Millionaires had 10 kids eliminated during the earlier rounds.

Tylil James (106), Donovan Stahl (170) and Dawson Redmon (220) bowed out in the consolation quarterfinals, while Owen Sampsell (113), Owen Mahon (120), Jarrett Jones (145), Alec Dickey (160), Nate Powley (182), Jamaire Burget (195) and Dalton Kriner (285) were knocked off in the consey semis.
