PARK CITY -- After winning a second straight Class 6A state title, Washburn Rural junior 113-pounder Jacob Tangpricha had plenty to celebrate Saturday night at Hartman Arena.
The fact that he got to share his title celebration with teammates Jonathan Morrison and Bishop Murray as part of three straight Rural wins in the finals on the way to a dominating team championship made the night even more special.
"It was way more fun because I had my little brother (Morrison) at 106 and then I had my big brother (Murray) win right after me," Tangpricha said.

“I’m just happy I could give my team and my family this good time and have this good time myself with my coaches and everybody else,’’ Murray said. “I’m so thankful that I got to experience it with my brothers and my family.
“They come here every year and they show out for me and I’ve got to show out for them.’’
