ALBANY – For the first time this decade, a Chenango County wrestler did not bring home a state championship.

Nick Wilcox of Greene, a returning state champion, placed second, while B-G/Afton had three of its four wrestlers finish among the top six in their respective weight classes.

Wilcox, a freshman, was the reigning 103-pound state champion, and he was impressive in his route to the finals pinning third-place finisher, Eric Velez (Section XI) in 3:05.

His finals appearance was a rematch with Section V’s Ian Paddock, who was a returning state champion a year ago, but was beaten by Wilcox in the 103-pound semifinals en route to the title.
