There were smiles, but little celebration on Saturday at Helias Catholic in Jefferson City. Four Bulldogs had qualified for state – two as sectional champions – but all knew there was work still to be done.
“A state title, that’s always been the goal,” said Jokiah Sewell, who earned the sectional crown at 170.
Keith Ransom returns to the state tournament after taking first place in the 126 pound class. Ricardo Juarez and Deacon Haag earned trips to Independence, as well, by finishing second at 120 and 220, respectively.

It took Keith Ransom 62 seconds to become a district champion. And the Mexico 126-pounder didn’t really need that much of the clock.
The top seed in his weight at Saturday’s Class 2 District 4 tournament at The Sports Complex in Mexico, Ransom received a bye into the title round. He quickly scored takedown points against Fulton’s Kaden Barnes, and then added more to go up 6-0. Only then did he turn his attention to pinning his opponent.

Keegan Koons and Gavyn Martin were undone in the first two matches of Mexico’s home quadrangular on Friday. Koons couldn’t escape Palmyra’s Kaden Crane and Martin contorted, but could not gain control over Collin Arch.
And when it came to the 138 pound match, Dylan Mosley wasn’t happy.
“I wasn’t ready and it showed,” he said.
Here’s the twist: he won.
“I should have had him pinned in the first minute,” Mosley explained.
Instead, Mosley worked a few seconds into the second before claiming a win by fall over Grayson Stevens, helping the Bulldogs to a 42-36 team win over Palmyra to open the quad. Mexico would go on to knock off Brookfield and Kirksville to sweep at home.
