Section 6 state qualifier has an exciting Day

IMG_1095

Connor Day that is. In the Division I finals at 126 lbs, number one seed Anthony Orefice of Lockport was defeated by number three seed Connor Day of Iroquois. Day defeated second seed David Killian of Lake Shore in the semifinals before going down 5-0 to Orefice in the finals. Clawing his way back into the match with two reversals, Day chose neutral in the middle of the third period to make the score 6-4. From neutral, Day countered a shot by Orefice and forced him to his back for a fall at 5:24. The upset victory earned Day the award for Most Outstanding Wrestler in the tournament.

In Division II, the MOW award went to East Aurora 220 pounder Tyler Hall. Cruising throughout the tournament, Hall pinned all three opponents in a combined 1:30. His pin total for the season reached 41, a new section six single season record. The tournament was dominated by Maple Grove who qualified seven wrestlers to the finals with five champions.
