For
the second week in a row, Cole was unbeaten, and helped Tioga to a
title — this time the team’s third consecutive New York State Division 2
Duals championship.
Cole won his first three matches by fall,
including two in less than a minute, but it was his match in the finals
that was the most impressive.
Cole squared off with 2023 state
champion Tommy Aiello of John H. Glenn, and pulled out a 10-7 win. He
scored a five-point move in the first period, and had Aiello on his back
for about 35 seconds until the buzzer sounded. He survived a few
seconds on his back in the second period, and sealed the win with a
takedown with about 15 seconds remaining in the third period.
