Coach’s comment: “Peter Smetona finished No.1 at the Solon sectionals and went to Oberlin (regional), placed there and qualified for the states. He was in the top 16, won his first match so he was in the quarterfinals against Colton Buffington (Westlake), the eventual champion who was undefeated. So it took the state champion to knock him out. He had a good season.”
