Three
Sagamore Conference wrestlers claimed regional championships Saturday. The trio
was part of 16 wrestlers from SAC schools who qualified for semi-state
competition next Saturday The champions include Southmont’s Nick Hodges who won
the 189 lb. class at the North Montgomery Regional. That is, of course, no
surprise. Hodges is one of the favorites for the state title at that weight. He
was joined on the top step of the awards platform by Josh Julian of Lebanon who
won the 112 lb. weight class. At Mooresville, Ryan Kolb of Tri-West won the 152
lb. title.
Overall, Southmont and Lebanon led the way for
Sagamore schools. Both the Mounties and Tigers advanced four wrestlers to next
week. Crawfordsville advanced three wrestlers and every other school in the
conference advanced one wrestler to semi-state competition.
