St. Edward Wrestlers Dominate Lorain Sectional

There's two things in Northeast Ohio that are a given this time of year: winter's grasp will not let go for at least another month and 's wrestlers will dominate the mats at sectional wrestling in Lorain.

Host Lorain gave them a run for the money on the first day, but Ed's depth and tradition proved too much as the Eagles ran away with the tournament tallying 387 points. Elyria was second with 189, while Lorain finished a distant third.

In turn, the Eagles will have its entire roster - including eight champions - move on to district action next weekend also being held in Lorain.

The following St. Ed wrestlers took home first place:

— Edgar Bright (112 pounds) maj. dec. Chase DuPratt, Olmsted Falls, 14-4

— Dean Heil (119) maj. dec. Yousef Abdel-Salam, Lakewood, 13-0

— Markus Scheidel (125) dec. Eli Garcia, Elyria, 5-2

— Mark Martin (152) maj. dec. Sheldon Stuckart, Westlake, 13-3

— Domenic Abounader (160) tech. fall Thaer Zayed, North Olmsted, 15-0

— Jacob Davis (171) pinned James Austin, John Marshall, 1:47

— James Suvak (189) maj. dec. Mike Mees, North Ridgeville, 12-3

— Greg Kuhar (285) pinned Cory Frank, Avon Lake, 5:45

The city of Lakewood also had its Rangers fare extremely well at the sectional tourney, as Vinny Curiale's team crowned two champions.
