The CHS wrestling team placed fourth of 11 teams in the Brooke County Classic on Saturday.

Because Brooke High School was closed on Friday due to weather, the two-day tournament was reduced to one day.

Red Devil wrestlers scored 125.5 points to Oak Glen’s 174. John Marshall (156) was second and East Fairmont (148) finished in third.

With two starters out to take their ACT test and several others working on weight, Calhoun’s three freshmen were in the team’s line up.

Jean Blair finished with a 2-2 record and was fourth at 103 lbs. Seth Wease and Harley Hamrick were 1-2 at their respective weights of 135 and 140.

Sophomore Ben Laughlin, 3-0, won the 145 lb. championship. Other 10th graders were Caden Arnold (2-1, second, 171), and Zach Hanshaw (2-2, fourth, 119).

The Red Devils had five juniors in the line up: Cody Clark (2-1, second, 130), Aaron Yoak (2-1, second, 160), Tim Sutro (2-2, fourth, 189), Christian Cottrell (2-2, 285) and Jacob Haught (0-2, 215).

The only senior starter was Nick Stevens, who was 3-1 and placed third at 112 lbs.

Calhoun is at Pt. Pleasant High School on Friday and Saturday at 10:30 a.m. each day.

Other teams in the tournament are Philip-Barbour, Nitro, Spring Valley, Roane, Berkeley Springs, St. Albans, Wahama, Cabell Midland, Parkersburg South B, Independence, Greenbrier West, Shady Spring and Woodrow Wilson.
