WILLIAMSVILLE - While it is disappointing to lose a sectional championship in such heart-breaking fashion, Josh Eagan made it clear Niagara Falls wrestling is still looking at the bigger picture ahead as the state tournament is just around the corner.

"I'm happy with the way the guys wrestled," Eagan said. "You know, we didn't really manipulate our lineup to win a tournament... It's individual goals right now. So, you're really looking at that and you're looking down the road at the state tournament, where they're going to be for that, for a lot of those guys."

In what came down to the waning moments of the tournament, Williamsville North/East defeated the Wolverines in the Section VI Class AA final, 211-206.5, Saturday afternoon on the campus of Williamsville North High School.
