Moore, who is currently ranked No. 2 in Class 4A, defeated No. 3 Taven Dick from Holton in a 10-6 decision to win the Baldwin title.

Moore’s win in the championship was the fourth victory over a state ranked opponent in the last month. On Thursday, he earned a major decision win over No. 4 Seth Ferguson of Ottawa. Earlier this year, defeated No. 5 Parker Schwarz of Prairie View and Andover’s Tate Hutchinson, who is No. 3 in Class 5A.
