An wrestler was ejected from the PIAA Class AAA team championship for throwing a punch and the team suffered other setbacks on Saturday, according to Lehigh Valley Live.

But coach Steve Powell did attain his 469th career win and, thanks to that, the District 11 record for wins by a wrestling coach when the Rovers won a consolation match over District I champion Owen J. Roberts.

WFMZ has a video report in the matches.
