Falcons' coach Shane Lancaster said they knew it would be tough.
"We knew there were some good teams but Class AAAA was even tougher than we expected," he said. "But I thought we had a pretty good finish."
Few found a tougher road than Nick Lankford (119-pound) who finished seventh in a powerhouse division. He was the state champion a year ago at 103 in Class AAA.
"That may be the toughest division in the state," Lancaster said. "He had a slow start but managed to qualify. I still feel like he can make a run at (a state title)."
Caleb Murphy (130) took sixth, George Kudyba (189) finished fourth, and Johnathon Martinez (275) finished seventh for the Falcons. Zach Cannon (135) will be a state alternate if anyone is unable to make the state meet due to injury.
"Overall we were pleased but we were hoping a couple of guys had done better," Lancaster said. "Still, we're happy with how things went."
