Jaden Crumpler established himself as one of the premier wrestlers in the state for @NFWrestling1, while @newfanewrestlin placed three at states and Evan Myers has @Newfanehoops on fire. All that and more in this week's three stars. https://t.co/8DYlpjDkoJ

Sometimes we forget championships aren't everything. You hear all the time second place doesn't matter. Heaven forbid someone takes third, fourth or fifth. That nonsense won't fly here.

Reaching the finals of the state wrestling tournament is an incredible accomplishment, and Niagara Falls' Jaden Crumpler proved he was a hair away from winning the whole thing in his first trip.

Crumpler was the lone Section VI representative in the Division I final and one of three in either division. That gives him the top star of the week.
