Correction
Monday’s issue of The Commercial Review had incorrect information in the photo caption of South Adams High School freshman AJ Dull.
Dull was pictured celebrating his opening-round pin of Delta’s Lucas Fox, which guaranteed him a semi-state berth.
The Starfire went on to defeat Cayden Shaffer of Adams Central with a first-period pin in the semifinal.
Dull dropped an 8-3 decision to William Fiechter of Southern Wells in the championship match to place second.
