Kewaunee's Mitchell Thompson is a win away from Kewaunee's first state title since Jack Severin thanks to a pair of victories on Friday.
Thompson did not need a third period in either match, pinning both of his opponents in the second period. Ezra Ducat is also guaranteed a medal after winning his quarterfinal match before falling in the semifinals. Matt Wery could not carry the positive momentum from Thursday into Friday, suffering two second-period pins to end his run at the state meet.
