Leopards Place 4th at TopGun Wrestling Tournament
Louisville – 144 (4th Out of 46)
The Louisville Leopards Varsity Wrestling Team competed at the 31st Annual TopGun Wrestling Tournament this past weekend at Alliance High School. Louisville scored 144 points to place 4th out of 46 competing teams.
The Leopards placed in six different weight classes during the tournament. Garett Lautzenheiser led Louisville by capturing the title in the 106 weight class. He rolled through the first three rounds by earning a 39 second pin and two technical falls. Lautzenheiser edged Colin Roberts (Austintown Fitch) 3-2 in the Semifinals before earning a convincing 20-3 technical fall victory over Boot Kuhlins (Tuslaw) in the championship match.
Louisville’s Jax Leonard went 6-1 through the 145 bracket to capture third. He was edged in his Quarterfinal match by Walker Heard (Marysville) 7-6, but won four straight bouts in the consolation bracket in response. Leonard defeated Zach Rodgers (Alliance) 5-0 in the third place match.
The Leopards Davin Rhoads had a similar journey through the 120 weight class. He rolled through his first two matches before falling to Christian Wayt (West Branch) by major decision 14-6 in the Quarterfinals. In the consolation bracket, Rhoads earned back-to-back 15-0 technical fall wins before pinning Josh Lyons (Mansfield) to earn a spot in the third place bout. In his final match he fell to Sam Vansickle (St. Vincent-St. Mary) by pin after a hard fought five minutes.
Both Brent Paulus (170) and Blake Robbins (220) earned fifth place in their respective weight classes for Louisville. Paulus won in sudden victory 6-4 over Isaiha Casto (St. Albans) during his final bout. Robbins doubled up Kole Aubiel (Claymont) 14-7 to earn his placing. The Leopards Carter Mickley also defeated Jerome Tucker (Claymont) 7-3 to earn 7th place in 132.
