Division III - 170 pounds: Brusly's Mabile picks right event for first tournament win
March 25th, 2016 | Written by: Editor

 

After runner-up finishes in the Brusly Invitational and the Greater Baton Rouge Championships, Brusly junior Owen Mabile picked a good tournament for his first championship.  Mabile avenged a Brusly Invitational finals loss by pinning De la Salle's Ryan Hamrick in 2:52.


Synopsis

Aside from the one to De la Salle's Hamrick in the Brusly Invitational finals Mabile only had one other Division III loss, but that was at 160 lbs.  His other losses were to Division I opponents, and pretty high-caliber ones at that, including Dutchtown's Luther Jones, Catholic's Jacob Fereday and Holy Cross' Matthew Putnam. Hamrick, however, had not lost to a Division III opponent and his win over Mabile resulted in his #1 seeding.

Kaplan senior Jude Hebert had an up-and-down season which included Division III losses to Mabile, NOMMA's Tyler McNabb and Cooper Derouen of North Vermillion.  In the state championships, though seeded fifth, Hebert beat fourth-seeded Jacob Melancon of John Curtis to reach the semifinals.  That resulted in a loss to Hamrick, but afterward Hebert pinned sixth-seeded Jude Hebert of John Curtis and then he avenged his earlier Brusly Invitational loss to McNabb with a fall in 4:00 to place third.
