Braun wins state title

Jamestown junior Zane Braun had state-title aspirations all season long. Following a second-place finish at the West Region tournament, the 152-pound grappler said he knew he had to step up his game if he was going to find himself atop the podium at the season's final meet. Mission accomplished. Braun defeated second-seeded Bryce Fish of Grand Forks Central to capture the 152-pound title on Saturday at the state wrestling tournament in Bismarck.
