From the Athens Messenger...Should be more in Monday's paper.
McLaughlin, Mays win state wrestling titles for N-Y
COLUMBUS — Thomas McLaughlin and Zach Mays made school history for the Nelsonville-York Buckeyes on Saturday.

McLaughlin and Mays both won a state championship. McLaughlin is the champion in the Division III, 126-pound weight class while Mays is a state champ in the Division III, 170-pound weight class at the 2012 State Wrestling Tournament.
It’s the second and third individual wrestling state titles in the history of Nelsonville-York High School.

McLaughlin beat Hicksville’s Cody Laney 14-9 in the final.

Mays did it in dramatic fashion in his final. He pinned Jamestown Greenview's Armani Robinson in 2:42 to claim his state title.

Earlier in the day, Nelsonville-York’s Dakota Mays and Jacob Coon finished sixth in their respective weight class. Both wrestlers started the day alive for as high as a third-place finish but had to win two matches to get there.

Instead, both lost a pair of matches on Saturday to place sixth.

Dakota Mays lost a close one in his first 106-pound contest. He dropped a 9-7 sudden victory to Elmore Woodmore’s Evan Ulinski.

That dropped Mays into the fifth-place match where he lost to Delta’s Kyle Keller. Keller was able to get a pin in 24 seconds to wrap up fifth place.

Mays, just a freshman, finishes the season with a 22-6 record and a spot on the podium in the 106 pound weight class in Division III.

Coon’s first contest in the 220-pound bracket was against Kody Bellamy of Sandusky St. Mary’s C.C. Bellamy won with a 14-4 major decision.

In the fifth-place match, Coon lost to Blanchester’s Travis Boyd 6-3. That put Coon as the sixth-place finisher in the Division III, 220-pound class.

Coon, a senior, finishes his season with a mark of 45-11.
