LA State Championships - June 15th, 2013 - Hahnville High School

Thirty-five Freestyle and 28 Greco-Roman state champions, in weight classes ranging from 50-55 lbs. to 285 lbs. were crowned at the USAW State Championships held on June 15th, 2013, at Hahnville High School.  Fifteen wrestlers won championships in both styles. 

Yeah, there's another one!  Sixth-grader Clayton Hill of the Live Oak Wrestling Club, flanked by his older brother Cody, won the Novice 65-70 championship. Colt Kendrick, son of John Curtis coach John Kendrick, placed second in the Novice 75-80 lbs. event for the Champion Wrestling Club. Brittany Bates, wrestling for the Bossier-Webster Parish Wrestling Club, became the first young lady to win a state championship at the high school level.

Sophomore Brittany Bates of Doyline High school, wrestling for the Bossier-Webster Parish Wrestling Club, became the first high school female to win a state championship, posting a 3-0 record in the Cadet 120 lbs. weight class.  Bates could be the first young lady to place at the LHSAA State Wrestling Championships in February of 2014, a chance she missed as a freshman last season via a one-point loss.

Miss Bates, however, is not the first Louisiana USAW female state champion - just the first high school one.  Abigail Nette won three freestyle and one folkstyle USAW state championships from 2009-2011while in middle school (5th, 6th and 7th grades) wrestling for the Scorpions Wrestling Club.  In 2009, as a fifth-grader, she placed a "true third" at the Girls Folkstyle National Championships in Oklahoma City, losing two matches by a mere one point each.  Upon returning in 2011 as a seventh-grader, she pinned her way to a national championship at the same event.  A back injury prevented Miss Nette from participating in the Louisiana folkstyle seasons in 2011-12 and 2012-13.  If the name sounds familiar, it should.  Abby is the daughter of Bonnabel's 1978 state champion and 1979 state runner-up John Nette.  This season, her sophomore year, Miss Nette plans to wrestle at Destrehan high school under a former teammate of her father's, 1978 and 1979 Division I state champion John Fogarty of Bonnabel.
