Luke Malveaux (StT) received a medical forfeit by Gervacio Gonzalez (CB)

Thinks were bleak enough for Christian Brothers' Gervacio Gonzalez before the finals as a family emergency required his swift departure to the airport, which is why the team coaches agreed to start the finals at 182 lbs.  But in the first few seconds Gervacio suffered a knee injury which required him to default the match.  (One can see Gonzalez favoring his right leg in photo #6.)  Gonzalez had a record of 24-3 prior to the Culotta finals match, with all three losses coming at the Kansas City Stampede, in which he placed seventh.  He won two "Pre-Season" tournaments in November prior to winning the Black Horse with a 1:00 fall over Teurlings Catholic's Reid Bergeron.  Coach Jame Ballantyne, of the Louisiana wrestling Ballantynes, informed the Louisiana Wrestling News that the family issues were resolved and that Gonzalez was recovering nicely from his injury.
