Dane Hall and Knauff return to state after placing third as juniors last year

Knauff Saturday forfeited out of his last match to allow more heal time for a sore shoulder before the state competition.

The four qualifiers from the Reardan regional will be among eight other finalist in each weight class in the starting grid at Tacoma. Three entrants will be from the central regional, and five will be from the west side of the state.
