Jackson Calderaro had an outstanding season.  The Blue Jay Junior lost a match early, at 195 lbs., to East Ascension's Jacob Schexnaidre, and after that lost a Gulf Coast Clash finals match to an Alabama 7A state champion.  After that Calderaro won the Border Wars and the Louisiana Classic.  Three of his matches, at the Gulf Coast Clash, a dual meet and the Louisiana Classic, he faced defending Catholic state champion Thomas Domangue.  All three were wins via falls.  The editor only saw the LACL match, and there it looked like Calderaro was just able to either wiggle or finesse himself out of and potential dangerous situations against Domangue. 

Domangue had an excellent season as well, with his only losses coming from Calderaro and the same Alabama 7A state champion.  He won the Greater Baton Rouge Championships over D2 state champion Anthony Denova of Brusly,  He placed second at the Hoover Invitational and third at the Gulf Coast Clash.

The state finals were a little reminiscent for Domangue.  In the 2022 finals, as a third seed, he defeated top-seeded Winn McConnell of Jesuit, who had defeated Domangue twice in the 2021-22 season.  In the finals match, the slippery Calderaro was unable to stop Domangue's offense.  Domangue scored five takedowns to Calderaro's five escapes, leading to a 10-5 Catholic win.  This match put Catholic ahead of Jesuit by two points.  Catholic, however, was out of finalists, where as Jesuit, they had a "big one" left.
