Woodbury dominated Henry Sibley 57-11 in their quarterfinal match.  Alex Braun  started things out with a major decision and a pin by Cade Johnson and technical fall by Cole West got the Royals out to an early 15-3 lead.  Will Bents and Sebastian Zamorano each won by decision and pins by Brady Moesenthin, Brock Rinehart, Omar Abdelal and Donald Nde finished out the scoring in the victory.

East Ridge took 8 of 14 matches in the 44-33 semifinal loss.  Winning for the Royals were Johnson (decision), West (fall), Moesenthin (fall), Rinehart (fall), Tre Hockenberger (fall) and Nde (fall).
