I need a full report following!

[Coach Rhoades]

Taz....is Cody hurt? I saw he didn't wrestle Tuesday.

[tazmaster5]

Bass - Lauth came in 189 and will be there the rest of the year.
We looked good.
Lauth and Neal looked good pinning at their weights. St Marys scored here.
Haase dropped to 215 for the team and lost a heartbreaker.
Murphy stepped up and had a nice pin.
A. Troyer - I just can't remember, man I hate getting old. (I can't get to my results sorry)
Ley lost as we bumped up at this weight and up.
Brunk and Troyer did their job pinning.
Z.Green pulledout a nice win
Painter and Leis did their job as well looking good.
Dunlap had abad night bumping at a higher weight but knows he did it for the team.
Jahnz had a bad night but hung there
Dukehart I do believe pulled it out
Green did his job with a pin.
Best I got.

Coach R. - He is ok. He is out until Tuesday. Resting some things that need to be rested. He is finally listening to everyone and realized he needed some rest or it won't get any better. He is trying to talk everyone in letting him get a couple matches this weekend. Not sure on the answer.

Ok, I will admit I didn't read every post so sorry for asking if this has been posted. Who is hosting the WBL tourney this year? I am guessing the date is Feb 14th?


Taz, you told me last week he was trying to talk you into St Marys.... Glad to hear you didn't give in!!

But all in all Wapak is the team to beat for the WBL title!
Elida and Bath both have good squads but it is hard to look past what Wapak has done!

Ok I could be wrong, but it will all be decided soon!

I am just wondering what all has wapak done i havent seen them much this year

Bath wins first WBL wrestling crown

WAPAKONETA - When Clayton Westerbeck took over as Bath's wrestling coach two years ago, he had a goal for his program.

At Saturday's Western Buckeye League Tournament at Wapakoneta, Westerbeck's plan unfolded when Bath notched the tournament victory and took home its first-ever WBL crown.

Bath won the title with 155 points, compared to second-place Wapakoneta's 148. Celina, last year's co-champions with Van Wert, finished third (129), while Defiance (124) and Elida (121) came in fourth and fifth, respectively.

Coming into Saturday's tournament, Bath and Wapakoneta were tied for first place based on their WBL Duals records.

Bath had two champions crowned Saturday as Josh Beemer won the title in the 130-pound weight class and Matt Hefner won the crown at 135.

It was close all day long as Bath entered the finals with a 135.5-125 lead over second-place Wapakoneta.

"During the day, we looked up at the board and knew it was going to be tough," Westerbeck said. "With Wapak, Celina, Defiance and Elida - we knew it was going to be a five-team race."

Westerbeck said he believed after last season that his team could make a serious run for the WBL title. Bath finished seventh last season.

"I thought we could do it after last year," Westerbeck said. "I told these kids that we could come out and compete."

Westerbeck said preparation for this weekend's tournament was a key factor.

"I give my kids and assistants a lot of credit," he said. "We had a great week of practice and came in ready."

Hefner said the goal for this season was made clear from the start.

"We've been working hard all year," Hefner said. "It just came down to hard work in the practice room. I've been wanting this for the past three years ... it's great."

Wapakoneta coach Jason Rostorfer said he knew Bath would give them all they could handle at Saturday's tournament.

"They didn't surprise me," Rostorfer said. "We knew how good they were. But, I'm proud of my kids. They came out and competed.

"Now, we have to get ready for next week (sectionals). I told the kids the season starts now ... all of these meets leading up to this is practice."

In one of the most highly-contested matches of the tournament, Elida's Shane Troyer handed Bath's Zavier Meeks his first loss of the season (29-1) in the 125-pound class, when he caught Meeks in a bad position and pinned him at 2:59.

Troyer avenged his earlier-season loss to Meeks, when he dropped a 2-1 decision to the Bath freshman.

"I was taking him down to get my two (back) points and I saw that his shoulders were down," Troyer said. "So, I knew I had to put him away, right now. He's pretty tough as a freshman."

Other champions on Saturday included Kenton's Chris Arnold (103); Defiance's BJ Miller (112); Elida's Shawn Brunk (119); Wapakoneta's Mitchell Beemer (140) and Logan Erb (215); Van Wert's Connor Massillo (145) and Cory Hirschy (171); Celina's Alex Dues (152); Shawnee's Kyler Washam (160) and St. Marys' Paul Lauth (189) and Marcus Neal (285).
