COLUMBUS — Cole Draper’s nose was bleeding and he couldn’t see out of his right eye. In spite of unique circumstances, the Mohawk junior defended his way into the Division III 170-pound title match Friday with a 6-4 sudden victory decision over Wayneville’s Kyle Ice in the championship semifinal.

COLUMBUS — Thurston Dyer finally won his preliminary-round match and Noah Clary won his state tournament debut to advance straight to Friday’s championship quarterfinals. It was Clary who looked like he had wrestled in the state tournament before.
