Estevez gave the junior from Woodland his best battle of the weekend, the only one Henson didn’t win with bonus points.

160: Cole Cochran (WOCA) dec. #1-2A Lucas Willis (CHAR) 8-6

A wild and testy one with Cochran rallying in the second period with two takedowns before securing the title with a takedown 31 seconds into the third. Willis was dominant through the tournament up until the final, allowing just two escape points in four bonus point victories leading to the final.

195: Jaxon Smith (WOCA) dec. David Harper (BASC) 8-5
