Teams were tasked with building the largest and best 26-foot-long brick wall they could, with as few errors as possible.

In addition to winning a free trip to the championship competition, the Bachetti brothers won $1,000 and other prizes.

Mason Ryan Fallon and mason tender Lamont Sudler, of Williamson, won the junior event with a brick count of 142, taking home $300 and a $150 gift certificate. ••
