42 wrestlers will etch their name in the record books tonight.
We start in class a, anthony romero of gmlos taking on walker bents of belgrade brooten elrosa.
It would take just one period, but romero's state title hopes were dashed as bents grabs the pinfall and a championship.

Getzinger would grab the lead with these two points..
But handevidt would counter strong with a couple of takedowns to win by an 8á3 decision.
Up to 195, westfield's colton krell would dominate frazee's luke tweeten... grabbing takedown after takedown to win his first state championship.
Moving to double a at 120, byron's maxwell peterson facing totino grace's joey thompson... these two know each other so well but just like the previous two encounters... thompson would come out on top..
Winning by a 7á4 decision.
It's his brother mitchell at 132... he has mankato west's charlie pickell.
Mitchel coulnd't seem to overpower pickell, falling 7á3.
To a pair of komets... bennett berge facing the only wrestler to defeat him this season.
He wouldn't let it happen again as berge defeats simley's gavin nelson 5á2, the sophomore's third state championship.
