Eric Hess couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to end his high school career.
Hess, a Benton senior, took on two-time state champion Dirk Cowburn of Coudersport in the spotlight match of the Class AA finals Saturday at the PIAA Wrestling Championships. He held on for a 1-0 victory at 160 pounds for his second career gold medal.
Hess helped Benton claim the team title with 93 points, then was voted the tournament’s outstanding wrestler to top off a dramatic afternoon at the Giant Center.
