Headlining the effort was four-time state placer Ty Mills from Brownsburg, who trailed No. 4 Malik Johnson (Christian Brothers College, Mo.) 4-0 entering the third period at 126 pounds. Mills chose the top position, and rode effectively for the first minute-plus before locking up a cradle and securing the pin at the 5:25 mark.
The other home school star was No. 3 Brayton Lee, who competed in the evening's last match - the featured match - at 152 pounds against No. 2 Jacori Teemer (Long Beach, N.Y.). The tightly contested bout was 4-4 at the end of regulation, with Lee securing the winning takedown early in overtime off a blast double.
However, as expected the United States team dominated the rest of the night, winning nine of the other eleven matches to secure a 31-16 victory. National No. 1 Travis Wittlake (Marshfield, Ore.) had the best performance for the United States; he earned a 17-1 technical fall at the 3:33 mark over Noah Warren (Perry Meridian), a three-time state placer and this year a state champion.
The other dominating performance of the program came from Indiana's national No. 1, Mason Parris (Lawrenceburg) at 220 pounds. Parris dominated No. 3 Brandon Whitman (Dundee, Mich.) - a North Carolina signee - to the tune of a comprehensive 16-4 major decision victory.
