Due to the weather, wrestling at the Pat Vance
Invitational at Nitro High School was limited to a one-day tournament.
The Calhoun County High School team placed second
of 15 teams competing. Since the tournament director’s computer did not
know how to keep scoring in the abbreviated format, only placement
points were awarded.
The Red Devils’ 11 starters earned four individual
titles.
Cody Clark (23-0), 135 lbs. and ranked second in
Class AA-A, defeated the third ranked Class AAA wrestler, Sam Dunbar of
Nitro, in the finals, 8-2.
Ben Laughlin, 152 lbs. and ranked second,
decisioned fifth ranked Class AAA’s Alex Levitan of George Washington to
take the title. Laughlin is
21-1.
Freshman Jared Haught (21-2) won the 160 lb. title
with a major decision, 8-0, over Seth Craven of Nitro.
Aaron Yoak, 171 lbs., remained undefeated, 13-0,
with a major decision, 16-3, against Derek Larson of Spring Valley.
Placing second for Calhoun were Tim Sutro (22-3),
189, and Caden Arnold (20-3), 285. Christian Cottrell, 215, placed
fourth.
Calhoun will be at Braxton County High School this
weekend. The tournament was moved to the high school because the Armory
at Gassaway is being renovated. Wrestling gets underway on Friday at 1
p.m. and on Saturday at 10 a.m.
