Dayton Porsch Porsch again proved his dominance of the Class 3-2-1A wrestling rnaks with his state title at 145 pounds in late February at Hays’ Gross Memorial Coliseum. The title was his third 3-2-1A crown. Porsch pinned previously unbeaten Scott Resler of Wathena-Riverside in 3 minutes, 6 seconds.

The title means Porsch (35-0) will have a chance next season to join an elite group of wrestlers with four Kansas state championships.

The junior from Hoxie also hasn’t lost a match since his freshman year for the Indians.

Efe Osaghe Ranked No. 4 in NCAA Division II, Osaghae claimed All-America status after an eighth-place finish at nationals for the Fort Hays State University wrestling team at 149 pounds in earlier this month in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Osaghae advanced through the weight class to the second day of competition. Osaghae fell to Natrelle Demison of Adams State in the seventh-place match, falling via 3-2 decision.
