St. Francis sophomore Griffin LaPlante placed 8th at the nationally regarded Powerade Wrestling Tournament on Saturday at Canon-McMillan High School in western Pennsylvania. LaPlante was the only wrestler from New York State to place at this year's edition of the event.
The annual two day competition draws many of the country's top ranked high school wrestlers representing over fifty schools. Some of the very best teams in the nation send multiple highly touted wrestlers and compete amongst one another for the team title.
