Richard Carson placed first, Kim Dover and David Wise placed second, David Allen and Kevin Davis placed third, Jeff Bowman and Darrel Beighley placed fourth, and Barry McKee placed fifth. Only three of our wrestlers are ad- vancing to the Regional tournament. Richard Carson, Kim Dover and David Wise all must extend their season and hope to go to the State tournament. Wrestling 27 . ) e
