Synopsis
A third-place winner in 2019, Rayne's Ryder Hawley had a very successful junior year. He won the Lafayette Metro championship, placed second at the Jacob McMillan Invitational and the Lone Survivor, and he placed fifth at the Ken Cole, losing to two Division I opponents. His five losses came from Division I and Division III wrestlers, but he was 9-0 versus Division II wrestlers. Hawley did not have an easy path to the finals. He needed 3:37 to get through his Round-One match, and then 5:03 to advance to the semifinals. There he met fourth-seeded Jalan Arceneaux, whom he had previously defeated via an 11-3 major decision and a fall in 2:29. Arceneaux lasted the whole match, but Hawley scored another major decision over the Rebel, 12-4.
Seeded second was Shaw sophomore Todd Ritter. His 38-16 recorded included runner-up finishes at the Warrior Open, the Dale Ketelsen Memorial and the Titan Invitational. He placed fifth at the Lakeshore Open and the Catholic League District Championships. His only Division II loss was to Belle Chasse's John Gagnon in a 21-17 "score-fest." And he had already defeated third-seeded Gavin Crossen of Belle Chasse 16-11.
After wins in 2:57 and 2:23 to advance to the semifinals, his next match was not Crossen. Crossen lost his first match to Pearl River senior Paul Egan in 3:28. Egan then lost to NOMMA senior Zachary Hrarbar in 3:50. Ritter pinned Hrabar in 5:40 in the Lakeshore Open, but Hrabar gave Ritter a harder match this time in a 9-3 decision.
