ST. PAUL -- Three Willmar Cardinals wrestlers are still in the hunt for state championships at the Minnesota State Wrestling Tournament at the Xcel Energy Center.
The Friday session of the Class A, AA and AAA individual tournaments is still in progress.
On Friday, Willmar's Colten Carlson, Vaughn Johnson and Brady Reigstad won their opening two matches to earn spots in Saturday's semifinals.
Carlson will wrestle Rochester Mayo's Brady Nelson in the 152-pound weight class. Johnson meets Jordan Joseph of St. Michael-Albertville at 182 pounds and 285-pounder Brady Reigstad squares off with Prior Lake's Alex Hart.
Johnson and Reigstad will have a shot at revenge in their matches. Johnson lost to Joseph in Thursday's team competition between the Cardinals and SMA, and Hart defeated Reigstad in the Class AAA third-place match.
