Dodge wrestlers advance to state
e second year in a row is sophomore Christian Grauberger at 126 pounds. He is no stranger to state tournaments having been a multiple time kids state placer and Greco Roman state champion. His fifth place finish in arguably the toughest weight class at sectionals means he will have his work cut out for him in the 16-man state championship bracket.
Earning their first trip to the high school state tournament sophomore Jared Cannon will compete at 152 pounds and junior Cam’Ron McCloud will step on the mat at 195 pounds. Both have experience competing in the kids state wrestling tournaments in the past as state placers.
Also competing at the sectional tournament was junior Tyler McDonald at 145 pounds. His season was cut short following two close losses against very tough opponents.
