The Ellis junior wrestling team ended their season at the MCEL Tournament in Trego. Unfortunately, the team was not at full strength due to illness and injury, but six out of the eleven who wrestled at the event were able to place in the top three of their weight classes. Asher Haag was able to win all three of his matches by fall and was league champion at 110 pounds. Asher’s season record was twenty wins with only one defeat. The other five medalists all come home with a third-place medal. Baylor Born lost his first match of the day and was able to battle back and avenge the lose by defeating the wrestler who beat him in the consolation finals. Aiden Valencia also had a good day and was able to place third in the 90-pound weight class. All three of the girls, Jersee Fabrizius, Piper McClung, and Lyla Richards, placed third in their respective weight classes with this being their first year of wrestling. We are hoping to have good numbers out next year with many of this year’s team being 7th graders. “I would like to thank my assistant coaches, Easton Burton, Zeke Haag, and Ron Haag, this year for all they do with the team.”
