Eli Campbell won a pair of matches in the 113-pound class but fell short of scoring with a 6-4 loss to Station Camp’s Jay Hill in the final consolation round.
Brody Calhoun won a match at 175 and was also one match away from scoring. A hard slam to the mat ended his day and sent him to the hospital where he was treated and released.
