HOW THEY GOT THERE: 

A second place finish extended Kobey Bronaugh’s senior season, as he will move on to the District Tournament.  Bronaugh moved right through the #138 bracket to the championship match with a bye, a fall in 5:32 over Moeller’s Hornback, and an 11-7 victory of #2 seed Thomas of Elder.  The #3 seed Bronaugh earned second after a 15-1 loss to #1 seed Niffenegger of LaSalle.

At #138, Max Ward started with a 10-8 win over Kaimann from Elder and a fall over Withrow’s Wheeler in 4:55 before a fall to #1 seed Casey Wiles of LaSalle, who went on the win the individual title.  However, in the consolation bracket he won a 13-3 major decision over Kaimann yet again.  Wrestling for third place, Ward lost 6-0 to King of Fairfield to end the day in fourth and a spot at Districts.

  

A LOOK BACK AT RECENT DISTRICTS:  In both 2017 and 2018, and despite advancing to the second day of the competitions, Bronaugh and Ward were unable to advance to the State Championship Meet.  Bronaugh finished 6th at the 2018 Sectional Tournament.
