WILMINGTON — One Clinton-Massie and four Wilmington wrestlers have qualified for the OHSAA Division II Boys Wrestling Championship next week at Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center.

“Super proud of what they’ve done this season but they’re not done yet,” WHS coach Kelly Tolliver said.

In the Division III Southwest District tournament at Troy’s Hobart Arena, the wrestling seasons for Blanchester and East Clinton ended Saturday. Blanchester’s Cody Kidd at 215 and Chasen Allison at 285 advanced to the third consolation round, which is two wins away from a state berth.

At Wilmington, Massie’s Cody Lisle at 106 pounds finished fourth. Wilmington’s Ty Stuckey at 113 pounds and Gage Davis at 165 pounds were both third. Thane McCoy at 138 and Josh Snell at 190 both finished fourth.

McCoy qualified for state last season. All other county wrestlers are first-time qualifiers.

Paul McKnight of Wilmington is an alternate at 215 pounds.

Carson Hibbs, who was a state qualifier a season ago, was injured Friday at the tournament and had to default out of the tournament.

“Just terrible,” Tolliver said. “He’s such a great kid, even-keeled. He came back (Saturday) and cheered his teammates on.”
