Still, the 171-pounder, who suffered a one-point setback in last year’s finals, wasn’t going to settle for second again.

“I just wanted this so bad,” said Wiscombe, who ruined Tonganoxie senior Ross Starcher’s bid to become the Chieftains’ first-ever champ when Wiscombe won, 8-3.

“It feels so great to get here after all the hard work, and now it’s time to go have some fun,” continued Wiscombe, whose father, Kirk, placed second three decades ago at state as a 138-pounder.

“I just told him to go out there and finally get this 27-year-old monkey off my back,” Kirk said with a smile.
