‘Cane puts 6, Falcons 5 in upcoming district

0

BATAVIA – Led by Isaac Allen and Conner Barton, the Wilmington High School wrestlers finished as runnersup Saturday at the Division II Batavia Sectional tournament at BHS.

There are six Hurricane wrestlers who qualified for the upcoming district to be held at the Rodger O. Borror Middle School Friday and Saturday. Allen and Barton won sectional titles while Sam Eastes was runnerup and Cameron Smart was third. Dominic Davidson and Brady Bergefurd were fourth-place finishers.

Clinton-Massie qualified five wrestlers to the district tournament – sectional champion Matt Asher, runner-up Bryson Mills and third-place finishers Robbie Frederick, Ross Lennon and Sam Brothers.

Ross won the team championship with 240 points while Wilmington was runnerup with 164.5 points. Clinton-Massie was fourth with 126 points.

“We were very pleased with our performance from underclassmen,” WHS coach Kelly Tolliver said. “Sam Eastes and Domonic Davidson have really been showing improvement the last half of the season and are starting to put together some really good matches. Other notable underclassmen were Trent Holliday, Mason Snyder, Truestin Barnes and Spencer Cain. Despite not qualifying these wrestlers were able to put their losses in the semis behind them and come back on the mat one more time to earn a spot as an alternate at the district tournament this weekend.”

Allen was the top seed at 160 pounds and “was solid throughout,” Tolliver said. “Isaac controlled each match and even in the finals dominated his opponent.”

Barton’s title was not surprising to Tolliver but because Barton “has been flying under the radar most of the season” there might be some who overlook the Hurricane heavyweight this coming weekend.

Tolliver also was pleased with the effort of seniors Smart and Bergefurd. Smart “stayed on task all weekend” while Bergefurd defeated the No. 3 seed en route to a fourth-place finish, Tolliver said.

For the Falcons, Asher barely broke a sweat in recording three pins in 5:01 total mat time while winning the 126-pound championship.

Mills had a solid tournament but lost to unbeaten Zach Dunn of Goshen in the championship match.
