Before the 2019 OHSAA State Wrestling Championships began this week, Hillsboro senior Lane Cluff said he was “on a mission” in his final trip to the event, and that was to not only win a match at state, but to reach the podium and become a state placer for the Hillsboro Indians.

Listed are the 2018-19 Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association Southeast Ohio All-District boys and girls basketball teams as selected by sportswriters of the SE District.

The time has finally come for Hillsboro senior Lane Cluff. His first two trips to the Division II State Wrestling Championships didn’t go his way, but on Thursday he gained his first-ever win at the state level, winning by pin fall in the 285-pound weight class and advancing to the championship quarterfinals.

The 2018-19 Hillsboro Indians boys bowling team is undefeated this season, and returning to state after missing the tournament last year, the goal is simple for the Indians: get to the bracket round and go from there.

Now a three-time state qualifier, Hillsboro senior Lane Cluff knows this is it for him as a wrestler for the Indians, and not only that, but he said he is on a mission to have the success he’s been working at for quite some time this weekend at the Division II State Wrestling Tournament.
