WE ARE ADAPTIVE WRESTLING-SPECIFIC MEDIA

East Ascension junior Lucas Maneckshaw's 2022 state hopes for a medal ended in the quarterfinals via an injury that forced him to withdraw from the tournament.  If one asked any of his opponents at the Warrior, he has yet to get over that.  Maneckshaw recorded three first period falls and a 9-2 semifinals victory to win the championship over a "loaded" field.  It included 2022 Division III state champion and Outstanding Wrestler Cameron Redditt from Brusly, 2022 Division III runner-up and 2021 state champion Luke Caballero of St. Louis, St. Michael's sixth-place winner Antonio Barraza and Jesuit's Chase Haydel, who placed T-7th in Division I in 2022.  Also in the field was Catholic freshman Kristian Scott, whose first varsity win was a 5-2 win over Redditt.  (Scott also beat Redditt in the 2021 Brusly Snowman, via a fall in 54 seconds, as a seventh-grader.)   Maneckshaw was not to be denied, however.  After a tough 9-2 win over the Blue Jay senior Haydel he pinned Scott in 3:08.  Haydel placed third with a 10-6 win over Barraza, whose fourth-place finish was the highest for the home team Warriors.

Consolation Rounds

In what must have been a heartbreaking loss, St. Louis senior Luke Caballero squandered a one-point lead over Brusly's Cameron Redditt in the final seconds of the third consolations round.  Caballero took a 1-0 lead after 13 seconds had elapsed in the third period.  Neither wrestler scored in the first period, and Caballero was able to ride-out Redditt in the second.  Last season the two split matches, with Caballero dominating Redditt in the Brusly Invitational finals 10-2, and Redditt returning the favor in the Division III finals, 9-3.  Their third match seemed to be going Caballero's way after his third period escape, but the Saint gave up a duck-under and a takedown with four seconds remaining, giving Redditt a 3-2 win.

Third-Eighth Place

Chase Haydel (JES) defeated Antonio Barraza (StM) 10-6 to place 3rd

Cameron Edwards (DUT) pinned Sherry Jugsuijinda (CEN) in 2:21 to place third in the consolation bracket This was the freshman Jugssuijinda's (man I miss MS-DOS keyboard macros!) first event.  She lost a wrestle-off for the 126 lbs. slot, but as 132 lbs. was open, she told her coach "I want to wrestle."  She stepped onto the mat against two unknown opponents, lost twice, and was back at practice on Monday.  She is a wrestler, now, and nobody can say otherwise.
