Prominent East Metro powers will be well represented in Saturday’s individual state semifinals in St. Paul.

Stillwater, Simley and Mounds View all advanced four wrestlers apiece to the third round of the winner’s bracket.

For Stillwater in Class 3A, senior Lindson Turner is one of the last four standing at 172 pounds, while the Ponies youth talent shined in the first two rounds Friday, as sophomore Noah Nicholson (121 pounds), freshman Grayson Eggum (139) — the son of Gophers coach Brandon Eggum — and freshman Isaac Leonard (145) each won both of their matches Friday.

Also in Class 3A, Mounds View has senior Brett Swenson — who won last year’s state crown at 114 pounds — in the 133-pound semifinals. The Mustangs still have a 114-pound semifinalist in junior Owen LaRose.

Mounds View seniors Colton Loween (160) and Ethan Swenson (215) are also two wins away from state titles.

Simley has a plethora of young talent filling the lower-weight semis, with eighth grader Adrian Mincey at 107 pounds, sophomore Jacob Kranz at 114 pounds and sophomore Jake Kos at 133 pounds. Spartans junior Amlilio Salas is still alive at 152 pounds.

Stillwater finished third in the Class 3A team tournament on Thursday, while Simley was fourth in Class 2A. Mounds View was the fourth-ranked team in Class 3A at season’s end, but fell in the section final to the Ponies.
