Feb. 28—WINNER — Apollo Willuweit has been practicing his backflips.

At the beginning of the season, he and his teammates decided how they could celebrate a state title. On Saturday afternoon after winning the 103-pound Class B state championship over Bode Walker, of Canton, he flipped in front of the entire arena.
