Seth Brownson (a first year wrestler) had the only pin in the duel, winning his 220 pound match by fall at 1:24 of the first period. Grant Voster and Zach Lahay both won their matches by major decisions. Freedom was won the team state title three times in program history, in 1997, 2015 and now 2019.
