As far as Zach Braddell is concerned, anything less than standing on the podium is unacceptable.

Braddell, a junior on the Tonawanda Warriors wrestling team, will be laying his heart on the line this weekend when he competes in the NYSPHSAA tournament at the Times-Union Center in Albany.

It will be Braddell's fourth consecutive trip to states as he attempts to win that first state title that has so far alluded him.

"Oh yeah, for sure," Braddell said. "Anything less than (winning) is, not a disappointment, but it's really not what I'm looking for."
