Tonopah's Cody Serfoss and Round Mountain's James Browning, Jordan Cutler and Jake Smith will compete in the Nevada Class 2-A State Wrestling Championships Friday and Saturday at the Events Center in Winnemucca.

The Nye County wrestlers qualified in the Southern regionals, contested last weekend at Laughlin, where the host Cougars advanced seven wrestlers to championship matches Saturday and won the title.

Cutler will wrestle at 119 pounds and Smith at 130, while Browning and Serfoss are in the 145 bracket. Serfoss won his weight class title.

Laughlin, which had three league champions, finished with 188 points. Indian Springs was second with 1491/2.

Corey Cook (140 pounds), Allen Layno (215) and Jamie Volker (285) claimed individuals title for Laughlin. Third-place Ely White Pine and fourth-place Las Vegas The Meadows each had three champions.

Skylar Hall (103), Chase Stanton (125) and Rusty Lewis (152) won for the Bobcats, who will send eight scoring wrestlers to state. Josh Raimist (171) and brothers Mike Kenny (135) and Pat Kenny (189) won titles for The Meadows, which had six wrestlers earn top-four finishes.

Indian Springs will take eight wrestlers to state, including 160-pound champion Derek Oliver. Other individual winners were West Wendover's John Roberts (112), Lincoln County's Maurico Escobedo and Pahranagat Valley Alamo's Jensen Jones (130).

* Boulder City made the most of its home-mat advantage on Saturday, earning the South 3-A title.

It was the school's first title in more than 10 years. From 2005 through 2008, the Eagles futilely chased Pahrump Valley, which won all four years and in 2008, claimed the state championship.

"It's about time we brought home a division championship," Boulder City coach Kevin Ruth said. "I've been doing this for the last nine years. We've been runner-up a handful of times, but we had never won the big one before."

Boulder City finished with 222 points, 42 points ahead of runner-up Mesquite Virgin Valley. Overton Moapa Valley (140) was third and Las Vegas Faith Lutheran (641/2) fourth. The state 3-A tournament is at Winnemucca Friday and Saturday.

"We're hoping to do well at the state championships , but Spring Creek and Lowry have tough teams," Ruth said. "We've been trying to lay low all season, but we're not under the radar anymore."

The Eagles had seven champions, including former Pahrump Powerhouse Club wrestler Al Haines (130 pounds)

Also earning titles were junior Johnny Garcia (125), senior Spencer Sasarita (145), junior Steven Kaposta (152), freshman Frankie Badgely (160), junior Jake Thormodsgaard (171) and sophomore Kyke Erickson (285).

Boulder City also had three second-place finishers in junior Tim McKeever (135), junior Shane Joseph (160) and sophomore Cody Coyle (189).

Virgin Valley had three individual champions: sophomore Taylor Fails (112), senior Stetson Ruth (135) and senior Wyatt Robison (215). Moapa Valley's Shane Bryant won the 119-pound title, and Riley Staley won at 189 pounds for the Pirates. Faith Lutheran freshman Pierce Holtfreter (103) and junior Eric Robinson (140) won the other individual titles.
