Teays Valley finishes third in the Mid-State League with a 5-2 mark in
duals while Logan Elm takes fourth at 4-3.
“Our kids came out aggressive tonight,” Teays Valley coach Todd Nace
said. “Our younger kids did well in their weights.”
The Vikings
scored the first 14 points in the contest with senior K.C. Stemen taking
a 13-4 decision over Logan Elm¹s Thomas Bohrer at 140.
“It was our senior night and all three of our seniors wrestled well,”
Nace said.
Fellow senior
Carson Wilshire won at 145 by a 12-3 count over LE’s Jeff Evans and Nate
Ormiston won by pin over Devon Haddox of Logan Elm.
The Braves took
the next two matches to narrow the score down to 14-10 win Dustin Dexter
pinning Christian Battle at 171 and Luke Sherman winning 15-2 over Teays
Valley¹s Drake Voris at 160.
Teays Valley took the higher weight classes with Sam Gilmore winning by

The Gifford
brothers of Shane and Daniel each took wins with Shane beating Nathan
Jordan 8-3 at 125 and Daniel pinning Chad Speakman at 130.
“We knew
wrestling the Gifford’s would be tough,” Nace said. “They are both good
wrestlers and we wanted to win one or two of the lower classes before we
got to them.”

Valley will be in action at Gahanna Lincoln High School also next
weekend.
