COLUMBUS – Bluffton High School sophomore Mason Shank wrestled well in the Ohio Div. III state tournament at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University Friday, March 7.
The Pirate heavyweight posted a 1-1 record on the day to stay alive for day two of the double-elimination tournament with a season mark of 41-10.
In the first round of the 285 lbs. bracket Friday, Shank met the top seed in his quarter of the 16-man draw, undefeated Dalton senior Cohen Riggenbach.
