Upton wins again

St. Joseph-Ogden's Austin Upton (45-4) tries to pin Mercer County's Jon Ricke (left) during their 170-pound Class 1A wrestleback semifinal match during 2013 IHSA Wrestling State Finals held at the Assembly Hall in Champaign, IL.. Unable to stick Ricke, Upton still advanced to the third-place match after defeating Ricke, 11-8. See more photos from this match and others from this year's state finals on iphotonews.com. The senior eventually finished fourth in the weight class after dropping the third-place bout in a close 3-2 finish to Wilmington's Sean Liaromatis (49-3), the #2 seed in the bracket.
