COLUMBIA The Fulton Hornets Cole Blattner competed in a first-place match for the second straight season on Day 2 of the Class 2 state championships Thursday at Mizzou Arena.
COLUMBIA Fulton Hornets state champion Cole Blattner and senior Elijah Brocksmith moved on to Day 2, winning both bouts in the Class 2 state championships Wednesday at Mizzou Arena.
The Blair Oaks Falcons had a pair of individual champions in taking second in the team standings in the Class 2 District 3 Tournament that concluded Saturday. Nolan Laughlin at 138 pounds and Cole Peters at 285 claimed titles for the Falcons.
Outside the Blair Oaks wrestling room, there is a white sheet of paper hanging on the door with two words printed on it: “One more.” It serves as a reminder for the Falcons each time they enter the room. Just nine months earlier, Blair Oaks only needed to win “one more” match at the Class 2 boys wrestling state championships to bring home the program’s first state trophy in nine seasons. With six state qualifiers returning this season, and four state medalists among that group, the Falcons are hoping for “one more” chance at a state trophy.
