Division I: Mitch Newhouse, Perry, versus Kory Mines, Maple Heights.

Note: Schafrath is the first state finalist in the history at Chippewa. He could be a first champion too.

285
Division I: Ben Buzzelli (Wadsworth) versus Billy Vaughan (Brecksville-Broadview Heights.)

Note: Buzzelli has faced Vaughan for both the district and sectional title. Vaughan won both matches. If a state team title comes down to this match, a lot of the Wadsworth faithful will be holding their breath.
