Dustin Seibolt from DeSoto got first, way to go Dustin, Zak got second, Meis got third, Defore got fourth, Will fifth, and Ortiz sixth. I want to personally congratulate all the wrestlers in this bracket they all did a great job! Special congrats to Dustin Seibolt for winning it all!

All these wrestlers are great wrestlers, and most importantly great kids, we are looking forward to many more years seeing all these kids wrestle as they grow.

You win some and you lose some, and the referee is NEVER the one we blame, actually you should blame nobody, you go back regroup and get ready for the next week or year!! Don't ever let it get so close that the referee might be the deciding factor. (Just a side note because I'm a referee, and some weeks parents and coaches love me, and the next week they hate me, but I would not give up being a referee for anything.)

Again great job to all you kids for a great performance at 8-under 55lbs! This bracket was represented well by a lot of great talented wrestlers from all over the state, and you all should be proud of being on the podium at the state tournament. Dustin you did a great job against Zak and should be very proud of your first place finish at state because I'm proud of you even though you beat my son Zak in double overtime.

Good job to all the kids at the state tournament this weekend!

One more thing, way to go Aaron Seybold from Pittsburg on your championship performance at 10-under 73lbs, you are the one Zak and Tyler look up to and you are awesome you little stud!
