The Cowboys edged out NC State for a Southern Scuffle title on Thursday with Nick Piccininni bringing his second individual championship from the tournament.
Here are my five takeaways from the tournament.
1. There’s a Starting Battle at 141
Kaden Gfeller’s debut quickly became one of the standout storylines of the tournament at 141. That was until Dusty Hone beat No. 2 seed Tariq Wilson in the early rounds on Wednesday. Gfeller wrestled well in his return and finished second, but Hone performed well in his own right and knocked off two ranked wrestlers to finish third.
