NEWTON — In his third attempt, Emporia High’s Brandon Charbonneau captured one more title that had eluded him, and in the process justified his top ranking in Class 5A.
Charbonneau defeated Colby’s Konnor Kriss 3-2 in the 138-pound finals of the Newton Invitational Tournament of Champions on Saturday.
“This is the third time I’ve been in the finals here, and to finally win one was nice,” Charbonneau said. “It’s really exciting. This is tougher than, a lot of times, even our state brackets will be.”
