Local roundup
FORT WAYNE - The season came to a close for all area wrestlers Saturday.
Jay County's Cameron Pfeifer dropped out in the opening round of the semi-state tournament hosted by Woodlan at Allen County Coliseum. Colt Gentis and Josh Kimberlin of South Adams each won their first-round matches, but suffered quarterfinal losses.
Pfeifer dropped a 12-3 decision to Justin Clark of Bishop Dwenger in the first round, eliminating him from the tournament. The sophomore won the 112-pound sectional title at Jay County this year, and was the regional runner-up.
Gentis (119) lost a heart-breaker in the match which could have guaranteed him a state berth, falling 2-1 to eventual runner-up Eli Michael of Columbia City. He made quick work of NorthWood's Trent Klotz in the first round, pinning him in 43 seconds.
Kimberlin (189) also fell to a runner-up in the quarterfinals as Joe Gibson of Northridge pinned him in the third period. He advanced to the finals by way of a 9-8 victory over Homestead's Will Bostain.

East Jay had three champions, which was second only to South Adams' four.
Chandler Stout (105) and D.J. Teeple (125) kept their perfect seasons in tact as they each won championships. Stout is now 15-0, and Teeple has a 13-0 mark.
