In extra matches, several Oskaloosa wrestlers demonstrated resilience and skill. Sam Nelson recorded two pins, defeating Houston Day and Oscar Jacobo at 126 and 132 pounds, respectively. Ivan Montgomery also notched a win at 138 pounds with a fall over Tristen Meyers in 1:45, and Carter Jordan earned a major decision over Noah Townsend at 144 pounds with an 18-9 victory.
