Wrestling over the break and into the new year

The Panther Varsity headed up north to Mooresville for a holiday individual tournament and finished 2nd place only to #6 Yorktown.  Our boys put up a heck of an effort, finishing in many weight classes above their seed.  In doing so, JC put five in the finals, had two champions (Mark Collett and Iyan Bass), and ended up with eleven wrestlers in the top five.  Good wrestling against great competition.

103 Lane Luhn 5th  3-2
112 Gary Engelking 2nd  3-1
119 Marshall Holwager 5th   3-2
125 Joey Resch 5th  3-2
130 Conner Montgomery DNP  1-2
135 Jordan Gast 3rd   4-1
140 FF
145 Draden Box 7th  3-2
152 Zach Graham 5th  3-2
160 Justin Baldwin 2nd  3-1
171 Brock Wathen 2nd  3-1
189 Tyler Morrison 4th   4-2
215 Iyan Bass 1st   4-0
285 Mark Collett 1st   4-0
Top 4 team scores:

Yorktown 259
Jennings County 224.5
Castle 202
Homestead 176

The 1st varsity also racked up another win against Southern Dearborn a few days after the new year, 65 to 8.  Joey Resch wrestled well, earning a tech fall as did Jordan Gast.  Conner Montgomery, Draden Box, Zach Graham, Brock Wathen, and Mark Collett all finished off their opponents by pin.  A highly anticipated rematch between Wathen and Nick Manning (Both ranked at 171) never came to be as Manning was apparently out with injury.
