In just its second year as a varsity program, it looks like Bardstown will advance at least three wrestlers to the state meet, including sophomore Keldon Tilley, who upset No. 2 seed Zach Boarman to advance to the 3rd-place match and grab his second state trip. He was the Tigers' lone representative last year.

Nelson Co. junior Michael Donaway has had a nice tournament as the No. 7 seed. Just 2-1 on the season coming in, Donaway won his first-round match, was beaten by the No. 2 seed in the QFs, then won 3 straight matches to get to the third-place match. Unless an alternate draws in, Donaway will be the Cardinals' lone state representative out of Region 2.

I just read SK has 10 kids qualify for state! Awesome job Pioneers!
