Fifth Place Match: Dallas Lemmers wrapped two takedowns around a Derek Holt escape to take a 4-1 lead after the shortened first period. After a scoreless second period, Holt tightened the score at 4-3 on a takedown with :20 seconds remaining in the match. Lemmers scored on an escape when Holt cut Dallas in an attempt to lengthen the match but the Louisville senior was too strong for the St. Paul junior. Lemmers ends his career with an outstanding 37-8 senior campaign and a fifth place medal at the Nebraska State Wrestling Tournament |

Consolation, Semifinals: In a rematch of last week's district finals, Fort Calhoun's Shane Perrigo (30-4) scored four points in the final 40 seconds by defending Lemmers' twister move then turning it into a takedown and two back points, transforming an 8-7 deficit into an 11-8 win over Dallas Lemmers (36-8). Dallas will now face Derek Holt of St. Paul in a repeat matchup from round one of the State Tourney with the winner claiming the fifth place medal. |

Consolation, Third Round: Dallas Lemmers defeated Weston Walton of Grand Island, 6-3. Lemmers scored four points in the one-minute first period on a takedown and two back points. Dallas then took a 4-1 lead into the final period after Walton scored on an escape. Lemmers scored on an escape :26 seconds into the final period but Walton countered with a takedown to tighten the score at 5-3. Hoping to score big, a desperate Walton cut Lemmers with :34 seconds left but could do no damage as Lemmers rode out the remainder of the match with the 6-3 win. Guaranteed of a medal, Lemmers (36-7) will continue his season at the Consolation Semifinals beginning Saturday morning at 8:30. |

Consolation, Second Round: Dallas Lemmers pinned John Essink of Syracuse (32-12) in 2:54.

Quarterfinals: Michael Rogers (25-4) scored a takedown with one second remaining to score an 8-6 victory over Louisville's Dallas Lemmers (34-7). Lemmers fell behind 5-2 going into the final period before rallying to tie the match late in the period before Rogers, who placed fourth at 125 in 2009, scored the crucial points just before the final whistle. Lemmers now faces John Essink (32-11, Syracuse) in the 2nd Round Consolations at 10:00 on Friday. |
