AUBURN HILLS - Manchester’s Jimmy Hamilton was 30 seconds away from being bumped into the consolation brackets of the MHSAA individual wrestling state championships.

Now he’s just one win shy of the finals.

Trailing 5-3 late in the third period of his quarterfinal match at 145 pounds, Hamilton hit a reversal to take the match into overtime. In the extra period, Hamilton pushed the pace, as he had in the third period, and it paid off when after a restart he finished with double-leg that put Hesperia’s Malcolm Martin on his back. Hamilton finished with a pin.

He will face Nick Glair of East Jackson during Friday night’s Division 4 semifinals at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Hamilton has beaten Glair twice already this season.

“He’s faced him twice, beat him both times in good matches. Glair’s very solid,” said Manchester coach Steve Vlcek.

Including Hamilton, Manchester put four wrestlers through to the semifinals as Ryan Abrigo (112 pounds), Austin Deacons (119) and Dylan Neff (285) all won quarterfinal matches.

For Deacons and Abrigo, both returning all-state wrestlers and regional champions, it was no surprise. Neff, who came in as a No. 4 seed, is exceeding all expectations.

“He had a tough day at regionals. He’s finally starting to get over those match jitters and is wrestling within himself a little bit,” Vlcek said. “We’ve had success here before but not like this, with four guys in the semis. It’s great.”

Chelsea’s Dakota Cooley and Milan’s Sean Domas advanced to Division 2 semifinals at their respective weights.

After a scoreless first two periods in which Cooley rode out Greenville’s Collin Fuller in the second period, Cooley scored a third period escape to go up 1-0. He fought off a late takedown attempt to win 1-0.

Domas’ quarterfinal at 215 was hotly contested as well. Up 3-0 on Madison Heights Lamphere’s Colton Marlette in the third, Domas was penalized for coming across the throat of Marlette. After an escape, it was 3-2, but Domas held on to win.

He’ll face Fowlerville freshman sensation Adam Coon in the semifinals.

“It’s great for him, last year making it this far and coming and falling a little bit short and not being able to stand on the podium it means a lot to him,” said Milan assistant coach Clint Kraft. “I just hope he’s not satisfied yet and isn’t happy to just be placing I want him competing for the state title.” ALL STATE In addition to six semifinalists, seven more Washtenaw County wrestlers secured all-state distinction with wins on Friday. All-state distinction is awarded to the top eight finishers in every weight class (semifinalists can finish no worse than sixth place).

Six minutes over three periods wasn’t enough time for Ypsilanti’s Alex Lillie who scored a takedown in the waning seconds of overtime to advance to Saturday’s medal rounds at 119.

“This year, especially it being my senior year, I made it a point to work hard every single day of practice, showed up very day and worked my butt off,” Lillie said. “Right here, on this mat at The Palace, this is where all the hard work pays off.”

Milan’s RJ Gaskill pulled off a last second win to earn all-state honors. Gaskill scored a takedown with just nine seconds on the clock while he was trailing 1-0 for a 2-1 win at 160.

Keeping with the theme, teammate Matt Schultz scored on a reversal with six seconds left for an 8-6 win to earn all-state at 189. Milan's Tim Sims (145) gave the coaching staffs collective heart rate a rest, with an 8-2 win to advance to the medal round.

Chelsea's Travis Ostrowski erased a three-point deficit in a matter of seconds in the second period of his blood round match, securing a pin shortly after. The fall gave Ostrowski, a senior, his 100th career victory and his first ever all-state medal.

Pioneer's Chris Biggs pulled out a one-point win over Waterford Kettering's Tyler Bedgood in the blood round after beating Jimmy Froehich of Fraser in his opening round consolation match at 285. Biggs, a senior, is a first time all-stater.

HEARTBREAKERS While trailing Port Huron Northern’s Spencer Olson 8-7 in the first round of the consolation bracket, Saline’s Nick Pataro hit three straight gramby rolls in the final 10 seconds of regulation. He won 9-8, but it was the first and last time Pataro would have his hand raised at The Palace.

With 10 seconds left in the first overtime of his next match, Pataro nearly had a takedown locked up, but the clock ran out on him, and he lost double overtime, falling one win short Division 1all-state distinction at 135.

Also falling in the Division 2 blood round was Milan’s Cody O’Keefe (135), Dexter’s Dan Flowers (125) and Ypsilanti's Greg Cheatham (171).

Manchester’s Nate Fischer (130), Johnny Woollams (140) and Cameron LaDouceur (130) fell in the Division 4 blood round.
