LAKELAND - Quinn Tibbetts became the second Hurricanes wrestler to clinch a berth in Saturday morning's semifinals.
The senior heavyweight beat Orange Park's Richard Brown by disqualification in the quarterfinals. Brown was called for too many penalty points with 36 seconds left in the third period and Tibbetts leading 5-1.
By advancing into today's semifinals, Tibbetts has assured himself a state medal, awarded to the top six in each class.
He will be joined somewhere on the podium by teammate Alex Doran, a semifinalist at 140 pounds.
The championship semifinals begin 10 a.m. Saturday at The Lakeland Center.
Manatee has three wrestlers left in the consolation round - Ronny Whitt (103), Travis Fulk (135) and Brett Barber (145).
The second round of wrestlebacks begins after the quarterfinals are finished.
