11 Big K Girls Reach State Wrestling Semis

Of the 14 that attained opening round wins, 11 Big K girls advanced to the semifinals of the MSHSAA State Wrestling Championships. Hallsville’s Candace Calvert was the first of the day. Assistant Coach Michael Robertson continues to be impressed.

Jayden Keller and Riley Howell reached the semis for the returning state runner-up Brookfield Lady Bulldogs. They are fifth in the team standings with 32 points, trailing fourth place Smithville by 1, third place Oak Grove by 1.5 and second place Kearney by 3. Marshfield holds the top spot with 49. Boonville also had two semifinalists in Audrionnah Donahue and Alivia Bottoms. It’s felt like a long time coming for the senior Donahue.

Marceline senior Payton Weese is into the semis for the first time since her freshman season.

Returning state champions Bre Gibbs of Moberly and Callie Bergthold of Southern Boone are back in the semis. Other semifinalists are Centralia’s Jayci Shelton, Mexico’s Alexus Johns and Palmyra’s Elly Lorenson. Four remain alive in wrestlebacks.
