Recap: With the dual starting at 144lbs, DCC was able to jump up to an early 5-0 lead via a tech from state champ Grayson Fuchs. It was all Lowell from there. At 150, a third period escape and TD for Dawson gave him a big win over Buskirk. At 157 and 165, Detroit CC was winning both matches before Lowell picked up huge pins. The match of the dual came at 120, where DCC's Totten was able to pick up a gritty third period rideout over D2 #1 Smith to force overtime. In sudden victory, Jarrett Smith earned a quick takedown to take the 3-0 decision. Blum put an exclamation on the dual in the last match with a 22-6 tech fall over 3x state placer Walkowiak.

This year's iteration of the Hudson Super 16 was no disappointment, with a ton of ranked teams, 135+ ranked wrestlers, and 17 of the #1 ranked wrestlers in the state. Dundee was able to run away with the team title, going 5-for-5 in the finals. Host school Hudson had an outstanding showing, finishing second, while D1 powers Oxford and Hartland tied for 3rd.

Mason Haines won arguably the toughest weight of the tournament. Entering as the top seed, Haines picked up a 16-8 major decision over state champ Gilbert in the semis. In the finals, Haines secured a 4-1 decision over state champ Sammy Stewart of Manchester. However, it was a teammate of Haines that had the match of the tournament, posted above. At 175lbs, Kole Katschor and Sebastian Martinez have developed a remarkable rivalry this season. After Katschor won an OT match in the finals of the Grappler Gold Invite, Martinez got revenge with a decision in the finals of the Catholic Central Invite. This time, it was Katschor with a 7-3 decision over Martinez, potentially securing his spot on the Dream Team should he run the table the rest of the way.
