Butkus upset top seed Jack Sauer of Franklin in the championship match at the MIAA Division 1 West/Central sectional Feb. 15, pulling off a two-point escape and reversal in the closing seconds for a 2-1 victory, and became the first Hiller in school history to be named the tournament’s outstanding wrestler, according to coach Corey Mills. “Aaron was very confident, very poised,” Mills said. “I felt pretty confident Aaron was going to get the escape. But the thrilling, shocking part was he was able to get a reversal and then ride him out for the win.” With the win, Butkus earned a spot in the Feb. 20-21 state tournament.
