THIS MORNING IT’S CLASSES B AND C WHO KICK THINGS OFF. LAUREN MICHELSON HAS THAT STORY FROM DOWNTOWN SKUTT CATHOLIC, LOOKING LIKE THE EARLY FAVORITE IN CLASS B, THE SKYHAWKS, LOOKING TO BRING BACK THE PROGRAM’S THIRD TEAM TITLE IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. A BIG REASON THANKS TO A SOLID SENIOR CLASS THAT INCLUDES TYLER HARRELL AT 165, THE AIR FORCE COMMIT IS HOPING TO BECOME A FOUR TIME STATE CHAMPION.

IOWA ADVANCES TO THE SEMIS WITH AN 11 FOUR DECISION OVER EMMETT KELLEY, USING LATE TAKEDOWNS TO PULL AWAY AND DOING SO WITH QUITE THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. WATCHING HIS OLDER BROTHER KADZIOLA, NOW A NEBRASKA WRESTLER. IT MEANS A LOT. YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I’D BE NOWHERE WITHOUT THEM TODAY. AND I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH. I’M SUPER GRATEFUL FOR THEM. SKYHAWKS RILEY JOHNSON RANKED NUMBER ONE AT 190 IN THE TOP OVERALL SEED, IS ALSO SEARCHING FOR A THREE PEAT. JOHNSON LEFT NO DOUBT ROLLING TO A92 MAJOR DECISION OVER BRODY BRANDT. MULTIPLE TAKEDOWNS TO CRUISE TO THE SEMIS TAKES HIS MOTIVATION FROM HIS FRESHMAN YEAR TO SOMETHING REALLY CLICHE, BUT LOSING SUCKS. I REALLY REMEMBER SO VIVIDLY THE FEELING I HAD AFTER I LOST MY FRESHMAN YEAR. SO JUST LIKE THAT KIND OF ALWAYS DRIVE ME IS JUST I DON’T WANT TO FEEL THAT EVER AGAIN. I’M STILL REMEMBERING WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LOSE, AND I’M JUST KEEPING THAT DRIVING ME FORWARD, KEEPING GETTING BETTER. AT 120 GRETNA JACKSON GREELEY SURVIVED A TIGHT ONE, EDGING COLTON ARCHER IN A76 DECISION. A KEY SECOND PERIOD TAKEDOWN SOLIDIFIED THE COMEBACK TO ADVANCE TO THE SEMIS AT 144.
