John Gusewelle won easily in his first state tournament match at the Xcel Energy Center Wednesday, defeating Juan Gomez of Chatfield 7-0.
The win improves Gusewelle to 38-2 on the season. He will battle Kody Lafraniere-Sorenson of Frazee (36-5) Thursday night in the quarterfinals. Gomez spent almost the entire match on his stomach, making it tough for Gusewelle to get a pin. But it doesn't matter as Gomez was never a threat the entire match as Gusewelle controlled him throughout.
