Antwerp Wrestlers Make History
On Thursday, February 9, all of the Antwerp wrestling program was on display at Antwerp High School. For the first time in program history, wrestlers from age 4 through 12 competed right alongside both the junior high and high school wrestling squads. Many of the 16 Antwerp club wrestlers made their career debuts and some of them even earned their first career wins at the meet. Nearly every match went the distance with most of them being nail biters right to the very end. Wrestlers making their first appearance on the mat were: Cooper Nestleroad, Drew Eaken, and Rylan Wentland. Wentland was also fortunate enough to even win his first ever match in his first ever outing. Other wrestlers winning for the first time in their careers were Griffin Kosch and Riley Smith. The other Archer wrestlers competing in the meet were: Zoen King-Bauer, Tavin Sholl, Skyler Octaviano, Michael Rohrs, Zac Salas, Eli Reinhart, AJ Eaton, Dayne Sholl, Ethan Karam, Teegan Eaton, and CJ Eaton.
The club wrestlers were not the only ones to make history on Thursday. The high school squad made history as well by defeating Paulding in their dual meet. This marks the 1st dual meet victory for Antwerp in their young program history. They defeated Paulding by a score of 28-18, thanks in part to winning all 3 matches that they faced Paulding head to head. The Antwerp wrestling coaches would like to thank all the Antwerp wrestlers for their hard work and teamwork on Thursday. Everyone in the Antwerp wrestling community is proud of your efforts and we wish you the best as your seasons progress.
Margaretta Wrestling Results
The Antwerp High School wrestling team had a very productive weekend out of their very small team. 4 of the 5 Archer wrestlers competing were able to place in the top 4 of their respective weight classes on their way to an 8th place finish as a team. Finishing in 4th place at 145 pounds with a 1-3 record was senior Hunter Strickland. Earning a 3rd place finish for the archers at 160 pounds was senior Logan Shaner. Shaner had 3 wins with 2 losses and 3 pins at the tournament. Finishing as a champion for the first time in his young career was freshman Randall Mills at 113 pounds. Mills was 2-0 on the day and outscored his opponents 22-0. Also finishing in 1st place was sophomore Aidan McAlexander at 106 pounds. Like Mills, McAlexander was also perfect on the day with a 4-0 record, winning all 4 with pins. So far this season, McAlexander has won 2 of the 3 tournaments he has participated in, amassing a record of 10 wins to only 1 loss. Congratulations to all the Archer wrestlers for their accomplishments this past weekend. This past weekend will definitely be a great stepping stone as they prepare for sectionals in 2 weeks.
