    Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14-15, W/P Boys Wrestling Team traveled to Sutherland for the D-4 Wrestling Tournament and returned home with two district champions, earning thier trip to the Nebraska State Tournament, Feb. 20-22.
    David Bryner, (44-7), took first place in the 175 pound weight class. Bryner pinned Ty Chinn of Crawford and Josh Miller of Hemingford in the first two rounds.
    In the semifinals, Bryner won a decision over Dalten Hagan of Hitchcock County, 12-4 to advance to the finals. Just 0:53 seconds into the second period, Bryner secured a pin over Cody Holmgren (35-3), of Crawford to win the championship.
    Bryner’s first match in the State Tournament will be Thursday morning Feb. 20, against Isaac O’Brien, (34-18), of Ansley-Litchfeild.
    Kreyton Wiese, (28-6), won the 190 pound division, pinning all three of his opponents.         After receiving a bye in the first round, Wiese pinned Kenyon Florom of Paxton, Colt Gosnell of Maxwell and upset Preston Schwanebeck, (21-1), of Perkins County in the finals, pinning him in 2:37, to take the championship.
    Wiese will meet Billy Marshall, (29-15), of Sutton in the first round at the State Tourney, Thursday morning.
    Konner and Kameran McCrumb, both made it to the consolation semifinal match, also named the heartbreak round. Both discovered why they call it the heartbreak round when they both lost and saw thier dream of going to state disappear.
    Coleman Chism advanced to the third round of consolations in the 138 pound class, before being knocked out of the tournament, as did Jack Ward in the 215 pound division.
    Liam Dinnel lost in the second round of consolations, at 144 pounds.
