Wrapup of Saturday's events: 
Wrestling
Two Hancock County wrestlers were state runners-up tonight at the IHSAA State Finals.

Greenfield-Central's Josh Farrell (138) and New Palestine's Connor Robinson (160) both advanced through the quarter and semifinals to the spotlight matches, where each dropped a decision and finished as the state runner-up -- a tremendous accomplishment for both.

He won two 4-3 decisions -- over SB St. Joe's Mitchell Hartman and Evansville Mater Dei's Jake Lannert -- to advance to the spotlight match.

Cash beat Perry Meridian's Jacob Coffey 4-0 and Penn's Zachary Davis 8-2 to wrestle back to fifth.
