Wrestling Wins MIT; Senior Night At Home This Friday
SETTING THE SCENE: Following a busy week, the Eagles will take a breather with just one match on the schedule. Senior Night will be held on Fri., 2/3, where Kyle Brady, Vance Geeslin, Graham Martin, Blake Miller, Jimmy Murphy, and Daniel Wilson will be recognized prior to the match with Edgewood. The Eagles ran away with the team championship at the Milford Invitation Tournament last weekend, with eight Eagles taking the podium including three individual. Five MHS wrestlers recorded wins at the OHSAA Duals, but the team fell to Lakota West.
A LOOK BACK: The Eagles started the weekend with the OHSAA Regional Dual Team Tournament. The Tournament was held at Loveland High School, and Milford was paired with #2 Lakota West. Though Lakota West advanced as a team, the 48-27 score was closer than it seemed as the Eagles lost five matches by forfeit. Individual winners included Jimmy Murphy, Tre Spillman, Graham Martin, Blake Miller, and Daniel Wilson.
The Eagles captured first place at their own Milford Invitational Tournament. Jimmy Murphy claimed his third consecutive MIT championship, this year at #132. Joining Murphy in winning individual championships were Kobey Bronaugh at #113, and Kyle Brady at #138. Tre Spillman placed second at #160, while Max Ward #120 and Blake Miller #182 each finished third. Daniel Wilson finished fourth at #285, and Graham Martin placed fifth at #170.
Milford finished first, scoring over forty points more than second place Winton Woods. The MIT featured seventeen teams from the Cincinnati region, four of those from the ECC as well as #2 Mason and #5 Harrison from Division I and #7 New Richmond from Division II-III.
