Dundee's Stoney Buell is on the cusp of joining an elite club which currently numbers only two.

Since Michigan began conducting separate team and individual state tournaments in 1988, only Davison's Brent Metcalf (2002-05) and Lowell's Austin Boone (2017-20) have captured four individual and four team state championships.

Buell put the finishing touches on his fourth team triumph Tuesday, recording a 58-second pin in the title match as the Vikings trounced Whitehall, 55-17. 

The state's third-ranked 189-pounder is an overwhelming favorite in the Division 3 individual state tournament slated for Friday at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo.

The Division 2 state tournament will be held at the same day at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.

Here are five wrestlers to watch at the two state tournaments along with a look at the loaded Division 3, 285-pound bracket:

STONEY BUELL

The Dundee senior is 25-0 and currently ranked No. 14 nationally at 160 pounds, but has been competing above that weight during the high school season.

In Michigan, Buell is ranked behind only nationally-ranked Division 1 standouts Manny Rojas (Detroit Catholic Central) and Remy Cotton (Traverse City Central). Rojas was the only Michigan wrestler who beat Buell last season after Buell decisioned him in the 16U, 152-pound freestyle title match in Fargo the previous summer. 

Buell brings a 56-match high school winning streak and 158-15 career record into the Friday's tournament. He will likely face either seventh-ranked Wesley Peters of Richmond (12-3), who was third in the state at 171 pounds last season, or Napoleon's Travis Eggelston (24-4) in the final. 

Buell would become Dundee's second four-time state champion, joining current North Carolina wrestler Brandon Whitman, a 2019 NCAA qualifier. 

Buell built momentum for this high school season with a string of impressive offseason wins, including a 54-second demolition of three-time Iowa state champion Hayden Taylor, who did not lose a match during the past two high school seasons. 

Buell also knocked off three-time Missouri state champion Gavin Gross, an Air Force, commit, in just under two minutes. He stopped Alaska state champion Vincent Cramer, an Eastern Oregon commit, with a 15-5 technical fall. Another notable technical fall victory came against Oregon state runner-up Tyler Resko (15-4). 

Like Metcalf (Iowa) and Boone (Penn State), Buell is also headed to the Big Ten. He signed with Purdue in November after verbally committing to the school in late August.

CASEY SWIDERSKI

The Dundee junior, currently ranked fourth in the nation at 132 pounds, is in a position to join Buell in the four-individual and four-team state championships club next season.

After capturing Division 3 state titles at 103 and 135 pounds the past two years, Swiderski is a heavily-favored to emerge from the 145-pound bracket Friday. He is 25-0 this season and tops the overall state rankings.

Swiderski, who became Iowa State's first Class of 2022 recruit last fall, has never lost to a Michigan wrestler in high school competition and boasts a 110-3 career mark. He will likely meet 10th-ranked Matt Dwyer of Almont, who is 21-0 this season, in the state title match. 

Swiderski spent the offseason knocking off highly-ranked foes, including Iowa's Drake Ayala, ninth in the current pound-for-pound rankings and No. 1 at 126. Swiderski decisioned the Iowa recruit and three-time Iowa state champion, 6-4, at last summer's Midwest Ironman Duals. 

At various competitions last fall, Swiderski ticked off victories over New Jersey's Nico Nardone, a Penn recruit who is ranked No. 5 in the nation at 132 pounds, and Tom Crook, a three-time Florida state champion ranked No. 7 at 138. 

Swiderski also bested Ohio's Dy'Vaire Van Dyke, ranked 16th at 138, along with two-time Florida state champion Danny Nini and Colorado state titlist Weston Dalton. 

JOE HAYNES

The Warren Woods Tower senior and Virginia recruit is seeking a second Division 2 state championship, this time at 125 pounds. Haynes (20-1), whose only loss this season was via injury default, is ranked first overall at that weight.

He was 119-pound champion last season after placing second in the state as a sophomore and third as a freshman.

Haynes' biggest obstacle to a state title will likely be Stevensville Lakeshore's Aaron Lucio (20-0), who is ranked seventh and was third in the state 119 last season.

Haynes owns a 149-17 prep record, including 69-3 the past two seasons. Among those he has beaten is two-time defending Division 1 state champion Brendan Ferretti (Macomb Dakota), a Navy recruit.

BRAEDEN DAVIS

The Dundee sophomore, ranked eighth nationally at 113 pounds, is a strong favorite to win what he hopes will be the second of four Division 3 state championships, this time at 112 pounds.

Davis (24-0) is ranked first overall at that weight and has gone 62-4 the past two seasons. He brings a 47-match winning streak into the state tournament as well. 

Davis could square off with Almont's Dallas Stanton (19-3) in a state final again. The two met for the 103-pound championship last season with Davis rolling to a 16-1 technical fall. Stanton is ranked 10th this season and must get past unbeaten freshman Gavyn Merchant (25-0).

An active offseason saw Davis capture the Grappler Fall Classic title and place second at Super 32. 

At GFC, he edged Drew Heethius (Detroit Catholic Central) in all-Michigan final at 105 pounds by a score of 3-2. Davis enjoyed some sweet revenge after Heethius had beaten him in a GFC title match a year earlier. Heethius is currently ranked in the state at 112 and 20th in the nation at 113. 

At Super 32, Davis knocked off Beric Jordan (Ohio), who is ranked No. 1 in the nation at 106, and Minnesota state runner-up Caleb Thoennes. He also faced fellow Michigander Nolan Wertanen, a St. Joseph junior who was Division 2, 103-pound state champion last season and unbeaten (32-0) and ranked third in the state at 112. Davis took an 11-1 decision. 

MICAH HANAU

In Division 2, the junior is favored to become Stevensville-Lakeshore's first two-time state champion. 

Hanau (22-0) is ranked third in the state 140 pounds after winning a 130-pound state title last season and finishing fifth in the state as a sophomore. The Army recruit owns a 101-12 record the past three seasons.

Hanau would most likely face Zeeland East's Carter Hinson (21-0) in the final. He is ranked No. 8 and was sixth in the state at 135 last year. However, Hinson will have to overcome Warren Woods Tower's Josh Howey (21-1), who took eighth at 125 last season.

ONE LOADED BRACKET

Last season's top three finishers, including unbeaten state champion Grant Clarkson (Lake Odessa Lakewood), in the Division 3, 285-pound bracket have graduated.

That opens the door for what should be a wild competition to succeed Clarkson atop the podium. There is no shortage of contenders as this year's field features four past state medalists, including three unbeatens and an NCAA Division 1 recruit. 

Then, add a sophomore, first-time qualifier with a .943 winning percentage to the mix and this year's bracket is sure to produce plenty of fireworks before a champion is crowned.

The bracket's top half includes Dowagiac's Wyatt Bailey (24-0), ranked third in the state overall and a two-time state medalist. There is also 10th-ranked 2020 state medalist Levi Harber (15-3) of Montrose and Whitehall's Shane Cook (33-2), who has improved greatly from last season when he did not advance beyond individual districts. 

The bracket's bottom half features unbeaten, seventh-ranked two-time state medalist Colby Roosa (27-0) of Remus Chippewa Hills, fourth-ranked, unbeaten 2020 state medalist and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville recruit Dan McKiernan (14-0). 

McKiernan pinned Bailey in the opening round of last year's state tournament before Bailey turned the tables with an 11-5 decision in the consolation. He eventually finished fourth and McKiernan took fifth. Bailey was also eighth as in 2019.

McKiernan also pinned Harber for an individual regional title this season before taking a 6-3 decision from him during team state competition.

Harber decisioned Roosa (5-0) for third place at 215 pounds during last year's state tournament. However, Roosa pinned Bailey and decisioned McKiernan on the way to a sixth-place finish in 2019.
