? Free State High wrestlers Marc Somers and Jesse Hardy continued their strong seasons Saturday, winning individual titles at the one-day Junction City Invitational.

Somers won the 130-pound championship and improved to 22-1 overall, while Hardy claimed the crown at 189, improving to 22-2.

Alex Hardman (third, 119), K.J. Siebert (second, 152) and Josh Fowler (fourth, 160) also placed for the Firebirds.
