Background: Rajupet only beat teammate Robby Shymansky once this season, but it was in the WPIAL Class AAA semifinals. Rajupet finished second in the WPIAL to Chris Gladden of Canon-McMillan. Rajupet is one of the top seniors in the state and, playing behind Shymansky, the No. 1 freshman in Pennsylvania, has become a very dangerous No. 2 player in the Fox Chapel lineup. Rajupet will play Richard Hofmann of North Allegheny in the WPIAL Class AAA team finals on Friday.
