PENDLETON - Gage and Griffin LaPlante watched intently as Starpoint's Anthony Robinson captured the 285-pound state wrestling championship in 2018.
They were kids in seventh and fifth grades, respectively. But in the moment they knew that's what they wanted their future to be. The LaPlantes aren't content competing in the state tournament, they want to stand on top of the podium at the end.
Their quest starts Friday at the NYSPHSAA Division 1 Wrestling Championships at MVP Arena in Albany.
