Congratulations to Mr. Young. This is no small feat. Where is the coverage of the 285 wrestler from Batavia? He is only a sophomore. It isn't often that a Batavia wrestler stands atop the podium at this elite level. Congratulations to Josh Barber. I actually watched the match from Ohio; my sister used her phone to allow me the honor. Good luck to both of these wrestlers at the State Tournament.
