Clark is paired up with junior Gisaveri Niyibizi of Perry. The Mustang senior is 41 – 3 entering today going up against the 34 – 9 Niyibizi. The Class 2A session begins at 1:30 p.m. Griffen McBride and Joe Kauffman of Pleasantville also will wrestle, but in the Class 1A session starting at 6:00 p.m. The 132-pound McBride will be challenged by 36 – 1 JD Rader of South Hamilton.
