3. Jordan Branham (Miamisburg) vs. Matt Denlinger (Fairmont), 132 — Miamisburg’s state qualifier handed the Firebird’s returning state placer a 4-0 defeat in their dual earlier this season.

4. Cody Davis (Fairborn) vs. Derek Spangler (Sidney), 152 — Davis has dropped to 152 after spending most of the season at 145; Spangler, a returning state placer, is 12-4 heading into the weekend.

5. Garrett Conner (Centerville) vs. Jarrod Hardwick (Wayne), 195 — Conner took a 5-4 win over Hardwick in the sectional finals last season, points from this match will go a long way in determining the overall team champ.
