State Wrestling: Individual Results from Thursday afternoon/evening

Tarah Cleveland had a team-high 16 points to help ninth-seed Menahga get past No. 8 Browerville 63-43 in the pigtails of the West Sub-section 5A playoffs Tuesday night.

Menahga shot a low 36 percent (16-for-44) from the floor but made up for it by hitting six three-pointers and converting 86 percent (13-for-15) of their free-throws.

In the individual competition, 17 champions return for more gold medals—six in Class AAA, four in Class AA, and seven in Class A.
