CICERO — In the moments before the biggest match of his high school wrestling career at the recent Section 3 Division I championships, Peyton Rupracht gazed into the crowd at SRC Arena in Syracuse and watched as the legion of Central Square supporters cheered on his co-captain, Kole Mulhauser.

Rupracht fed off that energy to capture his first sectional championship just a few minutes after Mulhauser secured his weight class, and the Redhawks' training partners are now on a mission to produce similar results at this weekend's state championships.
