After winning state wrestling titles last Saturday in Upper Marlboro, Linganore High wrestlers Cash Wheat and Alex Tortolani, as well as their coach, Jeff Wheat, Cash's father, are this week's guests on The Final Score podcast.

The trio chats with host Greg Swatek about its big weekend at the state wrestling championships at The Show Place Arena. Cash Wheat pinned Walt Whitman's Matthew Hobbs in 5 minutes and 54 seconds in the Class 4A-3A championship match at 150 pounds, while Tortolani earned a 5-3 victory over Whitman's Zach Richards in the 4A-3A final at 215 pounds, reversing a loss to him from a week earlier in the regional championships.

Wheat, who pinned over 100 opponents during his high-school career, grew up dreaming of winning a state title. Meanwhile, Tortolani didn't start wrestling until he was in high school and only recently developed the belief and the confidence that he could actually do it. How did they feel when they won their championships? And what did their coach, Jeff Wheat, think as he watched it all unfold?

Prior to this conversation, FNP sports reporter Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss state semifinal boys basketball games featuring Frederick High and Middletown and Hood College's remarkable run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament.
