Riley Jeffery because Clinton was facing Cameron Betsy. This was a close match, but it would be Jeffrey's bet, sir, that he would win the match. at 7 Hudson took over the Carson City glass and the semifinals and was going for his third consecutive state title and would respond in class 152. Jorge Serena was facing Jeffery cons and Serena, the senior, gets the good lead for two points as I would do it. win their match by decision and that put the Tigers on the board, but Clinton returns at 160.

This is the first time in the 14 weeks of our schedule that I've put the top 14 kids on the map, so I feel like we caught the other teams off guard. I don't think they really realized how powerful this team was when it was firing on all cylinders so I'm a little overwhelmed right now it feels surreal right now you know we worked all season for this you know it's great to have it all together and having her all the puzzles put together together with vision three and for the eighth time in the last 13 years we had Richmond and Dundee facing off in the state final.

Richmond took on Chippewa Hills in the semis and we started in the 140 weight class with Hayden Bastion taking on Caleb Fairchild and the senior Bastion would dominate in his first match getting the Nelson 3/4 over Fairchild by two points as he advances to a decision win seventeen to quarter to put the Blue Devils on the board.

Stoney Buell took on Gavin Resk and the junior exploded via single leg to take him down as he would take the match 26 to 12. Richmond, seeking its seventh state title, would respond to Wesley's 171 teammates who went toe-to-toe with McAllister McEvoy. This was a close match, but Peters would go with a low single and split the middle to end it, as he would take the second match from him. to nothing, another close match at 189 as Noah Monson took on Jackson Gwyn and Monson's junior art gets the single leg finish with Navy as he would win 3-2 against Richmond and was still rolling as we entered at 215, Damn McKiernan. would score by two points in his match against Dennis Group and win by major decision, the Blue Devils would take a 19-12 lead, but Dungey would begin to get back on track at the 103 weight class.

Kasey would get the In the chute below, on Hunter Keller, Tech would fall later in the match to get the win. Another contested match was at 112 Austin fights against Daniel McNichol and we went into overtime, but it would be fights to get the reversal for the Dungey victory. takes a 1 point lead in 2219 Richmond returns in 1:19 JD Gross gets the double leg over Logan Sander and his rival Krause takes the win in the blue fingers regains the lead at 22 to 20 and then in the 125 class Austin Kilburn to Richmond took it to Austin to war ski and junior Kilburn gets the front headlock, trails by two points, the Blue Devils now with a five point lead we had an exciting end to this classic rivalry at 1:30 Tyler Smith Durst continues to take on Josh, partner for Jerski to convert a single leg dunk and would go out to win his match and Dundee were now losing 25 to 23 and until the last match of the day in 1/35 Jonathan White of the Vikings facing the chaser Seguin White. wins single match by two points and would win by decision Dundee beats Richmond 26-25 to capture its sixth state title in school history.

This year in a row is more special than last year. It's a lot more special just because I was the last game and I had to win it for the team, it just means a lot more to me, it feels great, this one feels really great, you know, because this year was a difficult year for us, a lot of things changed . It didn't go well the whole season and it was a lot of stress and trying to keep it all together we didn't have the best lineup, from top to bottom, we had some, yeah, good guys, and we had some green ones, and then I have to make that work and put it together. everything so yeah, doing it again was really satisfying.

Then we go to Division two. The lone Red Arrows are going for a state record. They faced off for six straight state titles against Goodrich the Martians in the state title. for the first time in ten years when they won in Division three, inbred Lowell beat Gaylord in the semi-final and we started in the 140-pound weight class. Avery Mutchler, if the Red Arrows faced Colin Austin, the senior Mutchler would dominate as he would. The explosive double for two improved his record to thirty-two on the season with the wind and that would put Lowell on the board next to the 145 class.

James Feto of the Red Arrows would go toe-to-toe with Dominic Edwards and junior Fotis . having control in this one as he tips Edwards with the wing and a wrister for two, he would win his match six to none dropping to 152, Lowell's sophomore drug team came into their match with 33 and four records. facing Sam Fisher and Dean would get the fireman to take Fisher and the Red Arrows took a 17 to nothing lead, but Goodrich, who took care of DeWitt in the semifinals, would begin to hit the ground running in the 171 weight class. Juwan Vines versus Jacob. Lee, this would be a close game throughout and it would be the Junior Vines with the side work by two points that would win and that would put the Marcians on the board.

Let's go to class 189. James Penn for more of what Goodrich faced. against Derek Moore and senior Penn Furred would get the low single for two points, winning his 40th game of the year. Momentum began to build for Goodrich and they maintained it for 15 classes, honoring Kline facing Jacob. Howe, the senior clan with only one loss on the season, gets the drag of a single and would go on to beat Hope alongside the heavyweights and it was good between Blake Covell and Tyler DeLuca, we had to go to overtime and that would be be the senior pair that fell behind by the point and that would secure their match.

Goodrich has now won four matches in a row. Lowell would answer the 103 Ramsey Mutchler of the Red Arrows in his match against Ryan Angelo and the freshman Mutchler would get the knee single for two points and Lowell takes a seven point lead at 20 to 13. Nick Core Horn was next for Lowell at 112 against Zion Chef and the junior only needed a minute to take care of Jeff and he makes it to the other side. cradles Lowell now up 26-30, but never count out Goodrich, freshman Cameron Macklin dominated in his match against Bryce McHugh here earning the near fall and his major decision win to follow at 125 for the Parishioner of the Martians Richards was taking the deadly stretch and the freshman slides by two points as he continues to get the win.

Goodrich now trails 26 to 20. The pressure is mounting in the final two matches of the day at Mission 130. Kaleb's team faced Dawson Jankowski and senior Teague would come. end the change as he continues to get the win and three points for Goodrich now down 26-23 and in the end at 135 Jeff Leach of the Red Arrows facing Carson Turnbow Goodrich needs a pin to clinch the state title, but Leach doesn't No I want none of that as it will get the other side to take the game and clinch it on the cheap as they win their 6th consecutive state championship and that is a new MHSAA record, it is something different, it is always a new experience.

Being the first in Michigan, it's definitely the first in Maine. I am very excited, very proud of our children, very proud of our parents and our community. It's just a little surreal, finally, a Division One rematch of last year's final, Detroit Catholic Central. facing the scared two-time defending state champions Catholic Central with nothing but a three-peat on their collective minds against the Bulldogs in 2018, the Shamrocks didn't lose a game 20:19 would be a tougher path to beating Logan sanim from the category of weight 140 cc vs. Zach Johnson, the santim junior who has a record of 33 and 2 on the year, high crotch and then covered two clubs with a victory on the board: Derek Gill Chur of 145 cc, 28 and 2 on the season and facing face with Rhett Newton.

The junior culprit was ranked number one in the state at 140 and faced former senior teammate Newton Kilcher in control with the physical strike, head-first into the back hole for the takedown.
