Going for two
Arkansas City sophomore Trison Graham is on track for his second straight 119-pound Class 5A title.
Graham has four losses, but three have been to Ky Corley from Stillwater, Okla. Ark City coach Wayne Jackson said the losses haven't damaged Graham's confidence because he's wrestled Corley more competitively each time.
"I think he could beat him if he had one more chance," Jackson said.
Jackson said the pressure of defending a state title hasn't gotten to Graham.
"We don't talk about being a four-time champ because I think that would put undue pressure on him," Jackson said. "But the pressure of state and the possibility of him winning again doesn't seem to bother him at all."
