Updates
11:30 p.m. — The state tournament begins today at Ball Arena. And this year, it’s bigger than ever with a second girls classification added to the festivities — not to mention two more mats. There’s one wrestler chasing a fourth state championship (Fowler 126-pounder Traven Sharon) and several others looking to climb another rung on the ladder.
One wrestler vying for his first state crown may be one of the most talented in the building: Ponderosa senior De’Alcapon Veazy, a Michigan commit who first came to Colorado as a junior but didn’t get his first shot on a varsity mat until this winter. Kyle Newman has his story here.
The Class 2A and 3A boys and 4A girls preliminary matches take place from noon to 4 p.m., while 4A and 5A boys and 5A girls matches run from 5-9 p.m. Tickets for the tournament can only be purchased online. Here’s a link to purchase tickets. — The Denver Post
