Finals

Collin Guerra (Holy Cross) defeated Micah Roby (Baton Rouge) 7-0
Guerra ran his record to 6-0 and earned his second tournament win.  The two seniors were scoreless after the first period but Guerra caught Roby riding high and reversed him in the second, and then used a leg turk to put Roby on his back to add three nearfall points.  In the third period Roby started neutral but Guerra tacked on a double-leg takedown to secure his 7-0 victory.


Seeding Implications: Three 126 pound champions have arisen in four tournaments, in Collin Guerra of Holy Cross (Mandeville and Spartan opens), Nicholas Lirette of Hahnville (Griffin Open) and Nicholas Des Bordes of Mandeville (Warrior Open).  Guerra get the nod over Des Bordes due to his Mandeville Open finals victory over the Skipper, but Lirette gets the nod over Guerra as he posted a major 18-8 win over Roby in the Griffin Open finals, whereas Guerra only defeated Roby 7-0.  Josh Matthews of Catholic will certainly make his presence known after third place finishes at the Spartan and the Wildcat opens, and a runner-up finish at the Warrior (behind Des Bordes).  In all likelihood, though, Brother Martin's Division I runner-up Taylor Gambill will get top billing when he enters a Louisiana tournament.
