Posted on: February 24, 2019

By the closing of the Sectional Tournament, senior Kobey Bronaugh (2nd) and junior Max Ward (4th) had qualified to advance to the OHSAA District Tournament.  Sophomore Ray Clayton placed sixth.

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.

Sophomore Ray Clayton placed sixth at #126.  Clayton won in the opening round with a fall in 1:40 over Gordon of Oak Hills, followed by a loss to Elder’s Collins who eventually finished in 3rd place.  Clayton moved through the consolation rounds; pinning Anderson’s Upchurch in 2:25, and an 8-2 win over Krusinski of St. Xavier.  A loss by fall to Moeller’s Zenni moved him to the fifth place match, where he lost to West Clermont’s Ryan Walker.
