I'm Gerald Mikkel Earth and it's time to crown more champions as the

individual

wrestling

finals

took place this weekend at the Palace of Auburn Hills. We begin our coverage in Division Two at 160 as top seed Kyle Johnson of Hudson becomes Lenawee County's first wrestler. to win multiple

state

titles, he does and there's no better way to do it as Johnson celebrates his 200th career win with a 4-2 decision at 189 in Division Two, then Dean returns to the

finals

after missing the entire last season due to an injury in Lowell. The one-and-all senior is a sophomore and the Cornell commitment would once again prove the sweetness as Dean caps off 40-and-old's perfect season with a 9-2 decision for the crown.

Top seed Luke, ready from Brighton at 215, returned to defend the Division from him. a title as the only fighter in his weight class with less than three losses. He finished his career in style with the pin and an overall senior season record of 44 and 1. We stayed in Division 1 at 112 and didn't blink an eye as the Westland sophomore Mike Marsh John Glenn adds champion to his collection from last year with 103 sticks max Johnson of Davidson for the repeat Mars quite impressive going 55 and 2 on the year, up to 119 and heading to division three is Jaret Trombley of Lake Benton. him for a double most of the match, but scored a putback late to send it to overtime and it would be in the third overtime where Trombley prevailed over a three-time

state

champion to give the sophomore his second state title.
