All 14 Louisville wrestlers placed at the sectional tournament with a team record 13 qualifying for the District Tournament next week at Alliance High School. Returning State Champion Davin Rhoads (132) dropped a 7-4 decision to Matthew Williams (CVCA) in the 132 championship match to finish 2nd. Dominic Hoffarth (106), Logan Vanicek (145), and Jason Goard (285) all claimed third place in their respective weight classes. Both Hoffarth and Goard pinned the opposition in the consolation finals to claim 3rd. Noah Peterson (182) also took 4th and Dale Stauffer (126) finished 6th.
The Leopards 13 District Qualifiers and 8 Sectional Title Champions are likely the most for any school across the state. Defending State Champion St. Paris Graham hosted their own Sectional and crowned 7 Sectional Champions while sending 11 to the Wilmington District Tournament next weekend. Last year’s State Runner-Up in the Aurora Greemen produced 6 Sectional Champions at Beachwood and will be sending 11 to the Alliance District Tournament next weekend.
UP NEXT: The Leopards will next compete at the DII Alliance District Tournament on Friday, March 6 starting at 3:00 PM and Saturday, March 7 starting at 9:30 AM.
