A couple nuggets from Xcel Energy Center. We're counting down to the team championships; the individual title bouts in state wrestling finished about 20 minutes ago. From Class 1A:

*Class 1A had seven wrestlers going for repeat championships in Saturday's finals, and five earned titles. They were: Hayden Zillmer of Crosby-Ironton at 112 pounds, Bronson Steuber of Jackson County Central at 125, Drew Lexvold at 130, Ryan Thompson of Benson at 152 and Joel Bauman of Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg at 189.

*In one of the day's most thrilling matches, LeSueur-Henderson's Josh Willaert earned two points in the closing seconds of the Class 1A 171-pound championship match to take a 7-6 decision over Pine Island's Ben McPhail.
