TROY – Blanchester will have a pair of wrestlers in Columbus this week for the OHSAA Wrestling Championships at Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center.

Clayton Schirmer at 152 pounds and James Peters at 220 pounds advanced to the state with third-place finishes at the Division III Southwest District tournament at Hobart Arena.

Schirmer (50-4 on the year) will be making a return trip to Columbus after earning his first state berth last season.

Peters (46-3 this season) is going to the state individual tournament for the first time.

East Clinton’s John Cline wrapped up one of the most successful season’s in school history with a 42-7 record and 31 pins, but no state berth. He is first all-time in career wins at ECHS with 71.

Schirmer and Peters both won their first round matches then lost in the second round by a close decision.

In the consolation bracket, Schirmer posted four pins, including a 4:19 victory over Cael Bey of Versailles in the third-place match.

Peters had a pair of pins, then a 3-2 win over Dalton of Miami East before finishing third by default over Dylan Sargent of Columbus Grove.
