Takedowns at Taylor

The wrestling team finished 4th at the league tournament on Saturday (2 points behind 3rd place Madeira). Unfortunatley the matmen were without starters Justin Shields and Asa Palmer. Many would be happy to know that Indian Hill finished in 7th (last place due to Finneytown not fielding a team). Ike Palmer (195) won in overtime in his championship match to earn his second consecutive league championship.  Zach VanFossen had some of his own highlights by pinning his opponent from Taylor in 29 seconds and his opponent from Indian Hill in 11 seconds. VanFossen finished 4th in the tournament at 120 pounds. Other placers for the Cowboys were:

126 Pitman 4th

132 Casada 3rd 

145 Oliver 3rd

152 Brunke 3rd

170 Kremzar 3rd

220 Padnos 4th

285 Bell 4th

The matmen will have 2 weeks to prepare for the Southwest Ohio Division II Sectional Tournament hosted by Western Brown High School. The top 4 placers will advance to the District tournament in Wilmington.
