Cavaliers stake their claim as the Division III state favorites by dominating the Brusly Division III Invitational
January 10th, 2016 | Written by: Editor

 

 

De la Salle sent a clear message Saturday to anyone who did not think they were the favorites to win the Division III team championship in Bossier City next month - THEY ARE.  They did so by resoundingly outscoring the second place South Plaquemines Hurricanes by 69 points in winning the Brusly Division III Invitational.

The Cavaliers had three champions, four runners-up, a third-place finisher and a fourth place finisher and scored 210 total points.  South Plaquemines had one champion and one runner-up, and scored the majority of their 141 points in the consolation rounds in which five Hurricanes placed 3rd or 4th.  North Vermillion appears to be the team to vie with South Plaquemines for the team runner-up spot in Bossier City.  The Patriots, with 136.5 points, were only five points shy of the runner-up position.

Consolation Finals

[With apologies to the wrestlers who placed third and fourth, the LWN photographer was unaware of the availability of mat-side tickets for the last rounds of the evening, and thus did not acquire them.  As such, the vantage point selected to photograph both the finals and the consolation finals, which was in the almost vacant bleachers, was obstructed and had to be altered to a location from which only the finals matches could be photographed.]
