Jon Bell added a second-place finish for the hosts, and Austin Merrill and Caleb Vautier registered third-place points in the big win.
Cony edged Nokomis for second place by 7½ points, thanks in large part to a win by Max Story at 220 pounds. He scored a major decision over Oxford Hills’ Logan Truman in the final.
