Rebels take precarious lead over Crusaders after Friday at the Louisiana Classic |
January 15th, 2022| Written by: Staff writer |
Teurlings Catholic is the surprise leader at the 2022 Louisiana Classic after the first day of wrestling at the Lamar-Dixon EXPO Center in Gonzales, Louisiana. The Rebels scored 155 points, five more than second-place Brother Martin, with 150. A 29-point drop occurs to find the Jesuit Blue Jays in third, with 121 points, followed by Catholic with 109 points and, perhaps more surprising than the Rebels in the lead, the Holy Cross Tigers with 102 points in fifth. Defending Division I state champion St. Paul is in sixth place, followed by Texas visitor Rockwall Heath, East Ascension, Shaw and Rummel.

The Rebels and the Crusaders each have eight semifinalists.
None will meet in the semifinals, but the Crusaders have the edge on how
many are expected to win their matches.
The Crusader semifinalists are higher seeds than their opponents in five
of their semifinals. The Rebels are
the higher seeds in only three of theirs.
Two semifinalists were not seeded in the top eight spots.
That comes as no surprise for Acadiana’s Luke Lafleur, competing in his
first event of the season at 138 lbs.
Lafleur placed third in Division I in 2021. Lafleur defeated sixth-seeded
Brandt Babineaux of TC and then #3 Andrew Lusby of Live Oak.
North DeSoto’s Daniel Olivier, on the other hand, placed sixth in
Division II last season. However,
he is 16-0 (not counting out-of-state losses, which were only at some miniscule
Missouri event called the Kansas City Stampede.
He won the Little Rock Central Classic, the David Beeson Memorial and the
Parkway Big Cat. He has defeated
Parkway’s Christopher Bacot 11-5 and 13-9.
He teched Parkway’s Peyton Plunkett (the fourth seed at 126 lbs.) and
beat John Curtis’s 2021 Division III runner-up Preston Curtis in 3:04 and 23-10
MD. Yet Olivier was not seeded in
the top eight at 132 lbs. (he was actually seeded 12th to Bacot’s 10th).
