The WPIAL released its team wrestling brackets Thursday, and two Butler County teams will be in action next week in preliminary round matches.

In Class 3A, Butler (7-3) will take on Belle Vernon at 7:15 p.m. Monday at North Hills High School. The Golden Tornado faced North Allegheny Wednesday night with a chance to lock up the Section 4 title, but dropped a 44-24 decision.

Knoch (4-3) will begin the Class 2A tournament by traveling to Greensburg Salem for a 7:15 p.m. match Monday. The Knights clinched a postseason berth with a 59-17 victory over Summit Academy on Wednesday.

Both tournaments will culminate with semifinal and final matches Feb. 1 at Peters Township High School.

The top three Class 3A teams and top four 2A teams will advance to the PIAA tournament.
