Airline's Christian Walden
won his third consecutive Division I championship via a pin of Jesuit's
William Rosevally in 1:04. |
Christian Walden completed his second season not only undefeated in Louisiana,
but undefeated any time he stepped onto the mat. His record of 43-0
included tournament wins at the Warrior Open, the Arlington-Martin, Texas Open,
The Riot on the Red, the Eagle Open, the Trey Culotta Invitational, the Lone
Survivor, the Louisiana Classic and the Northwest Louisiana Regionals. In
front of a home crowd for the second time, Walden needed just 1:17 to advance to
the semifinals in which he scored a 17-5 Major Decision over St. Amant's
fourth-seeded Hunter Hawkins.
Having the please of meeting Walden in the finals was Jesuit's William
Rosevally, who could easily be considered the most improved Division I wrestler.
Placing sixth in 2016, Rosevally was seeded second in this tournament after
compiling a 38-2 record. Rosevally placed fifth in the South Walton Border
Wars, third at the Warrior Open and the Louisiana Classic and first at the
Cashio-Shriever. Rosevalley advanced to the finals with a fall in 3:47, a
15-3 Major Decision in the quarterfinals and an 8-3 decision over Brother
Martin's third-seeded Paul Elmer, again whom Rosevally had a 2-1 season series
edge in matches decided by three points or less.
