The only mar on Basile's defending Division III state champion Luc Johnson's
record was an 8-7 loss to TC's Hudson Sharon in the finals of the Jacob McMillan
Memorial. Johnson had earlier defeated Hudson 15-10, and Hudson had lost
to three other Louisiana wrestlers, good one, mind you, prior to this event.
To secure his place as the best wrestler at 152 lbs., though, the 1-1 series
with Sharon needed to be addressed. Sharon must have felt the same.
Sharon's problem, though, was that Lafayette's Jensen Bergeron, who had defeated
Sharon in the LACL CSFs, was seeded second in this event. Sharon, seeded
third, would have to get past him to earn a tie-breaking match with Johnson.
He did just that, though, shutting out Bergeron 5-0 prior to recording a fall in
3:39.
While Sharon had the win at the Jacob McMillan, Johnson won the LACL,
in which he pinned Bergeron in 1:25. Johnson was unbeatable after the loss
to Sharon, and the Bearcat senior dominated the Rebel junior 10-2 before scoring
a fall in 5:45.
Bergeron, as he did at the Trey Culotta and the Louisiana Classic, placed
third via a 6-2 win over North Desoto's Chase Smart. Sam Houston's Peyton
Miller, seeded sixth, placed fifth with a win over Rummel's unseeded Cameron
Gandolfi, who advanced to the quarterfinals with a win over the #8 seed and then
to the CSFs with a win over the #4 seed.
