Meanwhile, junior Tom Stackpole's state finals experience didn't go as planned.
He was eliminated on Friday morning in a 12-8 loss to Hamilton senior Will Braschler. Braschler gained an advantage with near falls in both round two and three.
Stackpole executed offense throughout the match, but left himself open for a couple of big takedowns. In the second round, he spent nearly 40 seconds with one and a half shoulders on the mat. He just was able to turn his head and keep from getting pinned.
The same thing happened in the third round.
