Marcus Blaze capped off his storied high school career as a four-time state champion in epic fashion. After competing at 138 pounds during the regular season, he bumped up two weight classes to 150 for the good of his team. Despite the size disparity, his final four matches at the Schottenstein Center ended in pure dominance: pin, tech fall, tech fall, tech fall—against opponents noticeably 20 pounds heavier than him.
Blaze may very well be the greatest high school wrestler to ever step on the mat in America. No other wrestler in history can claim a résumé like his:
- Age-Level World Champion
- Age-Level World Bronze Medalist
- Olympic Trials 3rd Place
- World Team Trials Runner-Up
- Wins over four former NCAA champions, an NCAA runner-up, and a World Silver Medalist
- Never conceded a single takedown in high school competition
He won state titles at 113, 120, 132, and 150, finishing his state tournament career with 9 pins, 5 tech falls, and 2 major decisions—never once winning by fewer than 10 points.
Congratulations to Marcus Blaze on an unforgettable career—one that will be talked about for generations.

In what was arguably the deepest weight class in Division 2, Coltyn Reedy emerged as the state champion, navigating a bracket that featured the returning titleholder and two state runner-ups.
Reedy’s path to the championship was dominant from the start. He secured a tech fall in the opening round, followed by a pin in round two. In the semifinals, he delivered a statement victory, earning a major decision over last year’s state runner-up, Hertenstein.
That win set up a finals showdown with defending state champion Saccoccia of Steubenville—a rematch of their district final just a week earlier, where Reedy edged out a one-point victory with a late takedown. This time, the stakes were higher, but the script remained the same. Pushing the pace with his relentless gas tank, Reedy orchestrated another late comeback, sealing the match with a third-period takedown to claim the title with an 11-9 victory.
Reedy capped off a perfect 44-0 season, collecting major tournament titles at the Brecksville Invitational and the Maumee Bay Classic. His résumé included a win over 150-pound Division 2 state champion Dixon and a victory against Zachary Aquilla, who was ranked #1 in Division 1 at the time of their match.
A year ago, Reedy placed third at the state tournament, closing out his season with a win over now three-time state champion Mitchell Younger.
With an unbeaten record, multiple marquee wins, and a thrilling state title run, Coltyn Reedy is DubStat’s Division 2 Wrestler of the Year. Congratulations Coltyn!

Brogan Tucker capped off his storied high school career with a fourth state championship, securing the title with a first-period pin over Quentin Harrison of Elgin in the state finals.
A dominant force throughout the season, Tucker finished third at the Ironman tournament and overwhelmed all in-state competition. His closest in-state match was a decisive seven-point victory over Division 1 third-place finisher Goldberg.
Over the course of his career, Tucker claimed state titles at 113, 132, 144, and 157 pounds, all while leading Graham High School to four team state championships.
He wrapped up his senior season with an impressive 50-1 record and earned recognition as a top-five wrestler nationally in his weight class, according to FloWrestling.
With his dominance and championship pedigree, Brogan Tucker is DubStat’s Division 3 Wrestler of the Year! Congratulations Brogan!

Four-time state champion Makennah Craft delivered one of the most dominant seasons imaginable, steamrolling through every opponent in her path.
She opened the season by making a statement at the Missouri Valley Open—a collegiate tournament—where she claimed the title with four tech falls, two pins, and a major decision over Iowa’s Rianne Murphy, the No. 3-ranked college wrestler in the nation.
Craft continued her dominance with major tournament victories at the Women’s Ironman and Findlay FIGHT, before capping off her season in emphatic fashion. At the state championships, she recorded four consecutive tech falls—all in under three minutes.
She finished the year 33-0, with 32 of those wins coming by tech fall or pin—a testament to her overwhelming skill and relentless pace.
With a flawless season and a résumé packed with elite wins, Makennah Craft is DubStat’s Girls Wrestler of the Year! Congratulations Makennah!
