Layne Hurla State Runner-Up At 145#

From the Capital-Journal:

A day after seeing his sister, Kendra Hurla, win a Division II girls state championship in Salina, Rossville's Layne Hurla made a title run of his own Saturday. 

The bid came up short in the 145-pound final against unbeaten Derek Johnson from Hoxie, a 2020 state champion. Johnson took a 3-1 decision win to move to 43-0. 

Hurla made the title match after pinning Plainville's Gabe Kerns in the quarterfinal and taking a 12-6 decision over Kingman's Colby Schreiner in the semi-final. 

The junior finished 29-4 on the season.
