Two Southern Door wrestlers battled their way into medal contention, but not high enough to extend their season to next weekend's state tournament in Madison.
Clark LeFevre (120), Ethan Alexander (138), and Lance Veeser (165) all recorded at least one win on the day, battling their way through wrestlebacks to give them a chance in the third-place match to punch their ticket to the state tournament. All came up just short in their final match of the day.
