The
resurgence of Alexandria wrestling continued Saturday at the Hamilton Heights
Sectional. The Tigers finished fourth in the 12 team field and crowned two
individual champions. Even more impressive, Alexandria put six wrestlers into
the championship round.
Frankton
ended ninth in the team standings and Elwood was tenth. That finish is a little
misleading for Elwood as the Panthers put three wrestlers into the finals but
failed to claim a title. Frankton did not have a grappler wrestle in the final
round.
Alexandria’s
champions were Levi Lanning at 119 lbs. and Eli Walker at 130 lbs. Video of
their performances as well as other CIC wrestlers are in the players on this
page.
Mississinewa
is enjoying its best season in a generation. The Indians are currently
undefeated at 11-0 heading into the annual battle with Marion. Still, the CIC
championship is far from a sure thing. That is because the specter of Garth
Cone and his Alexandria Tigers is on the horizon. Alexandria currently stands
10-4 and is also undefeated in league play. The showdown is scheduled for
January 29th at Alexandria. Madison-Grant continues to lurk in the
standings with only one loss in conference. That came to Mississinewa before
the first of the year.
The girls’
race appears headed for a final game showdown. The powerful Golden Eagles of
Oak Hill currently share the lead with Blackford. Both squads are 3-0 in league
play. That contest is February 4th at Blackford. Madison-Grant has
only one loss in league play, that to Oak Hill, but they are only 4-9 on the
year overall. Meanwhile, Oak Hill stands 11-2 with the two losses coming in
triple overtime at Taylor and by three points to Kokomo. Blackford is 10-4 at
this point on the campaign.
