Scheffel, Wright and Ozias brothers Lex and Coy win

COLLEGE PARK, March 5 - For two, it was their first time having their hand raised by the referee in triumph.
For two others, well, they'd been there before. But the feeling of winning still felt good.
Southern Garrett senior stars Bubba Scheffel and Lex Ozias each earned their third consecutive individual state title while freshman Coy Ozias got his first title with a pin at 103 pounds. Mountain Ridge junior Jason Wright, second last year, won on Saturday at Cole Field House by way of a 7-4 decision.
Scheffel finished his high school career with 167 wins and only five losses. His wins total is No. 1 all-time among Maryland public high school wrestlers. Coming into this season, the record stood at 162 wins. Scheffel broke that earlier this year and, on Saturday, Ozias earned win No. 163 to become No. 2 all-time on the career wins list.
