COLUMBUS—Beachwood’s Caleb Greenwood and Hawken’s Will Greenberg are one win away from claiming a state title after winning their semifinal bouts on Saturday at the Schottenstein Center.
Greenwood advanced to the Division III 150-pound championship bout after defeating Covington’s Caleb Ryman in the semifinal round, 6-0.

Greenberg is making his second straight appearance in the Division II 285-pound state championship match.
He flattened Greenville’s Andrew Winner at the first-period buzzer in his semifinal bout.
He’ll wrestle Sandusky Perkin’s Eli Sanchez for the state title.
