4 wrestlers from the youth wrestling team took to the mat this weekend at the OAC Wrestling Championship at the Covelli Center in Youngstown. This is the toughest youth State Tournament in Ohio. 32 of the top kids in each weight class from all over the state competed. Hayes Bolinger had 2 great matches but ultimately ended his season early. Tate Riggenbach also came out firing and had some solid time on the mat but feel short of his goal. Trey Riggenbach. Took a tough 1st round loss came back and pinned his 2nd kid but in the end couldn’t make it to the podium. Easton Berry ended up taking 5th place at the #120 spot. Easton had a great 1st day with 2 pins and a tech fall. Came back the 2nd day and ended up losing to both the 1st and 3rd place finished before being able to capture the 5th place spot. Can’t be more proud of these kids and the youth wrestling program and coaches for the season that this program has had. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered with concessions, tables, mats. Thanks to all the middle and high school wrestlers for all your help this season. That’s a wrap.

There was some tough lessons learned some hard fought matches and some calls not in our favor but everyone did just as we asked and gave 100% the whole time. They should all be very proud of themselves. Team placed 12th out of 63 teams represented there
A huge congratulations to our 2 State runner-ups. At 90 pounds Noah Mowrer and at 120 pound Easton Berry. Both undefeated on the season going into there finals matches. Both ran into really tough competition and gave everything they had and left it all out on the mat.
Congratulations to all the families and to the coaches for a most memorable OYWA season.

Good luck to the 11 Norwayne Youth Varsity members heading to Gleanoak tomorrow morning to try and take there spot on the podium at The OYWA State Wrestling Championships. There is no doubt in my mind that every one of these kids has in them what it takes to reach there goals. There hard work, determination, strength and conditioning and confidence, along with one of the best youth coaching staffs there is in my opinion will step on the mat tomorrow and give it everything they have. We are so lucky to be apart of there journey.
Good luck to the parents and families of these wrestlers. You guys have not only became friends but a huge part of this program and a big reason it is what it is today. Without all the practices you got them to, the volunteering, the clubs, the hotel nights and out of state tournaments, the Jeff Jordan camps and putting up with us 6 guys who love this sports as much as we love you guys and your kids. Congratulations everyone.
