Both Peninsula public school districts completed their district wrestling championships last weekend, and on the Southside, a middle school regular season champion has been crowned.
Bay Rivers District
As expected, New Kent and Poquoson battled through the weight brackets, placing winners in 12 of the 14 classes. In the end, the Trojans convincingly won the team title 283.5 to 218 over the Islanders.
In the finals round, Poquoson drew first blood, as Kam Harrell (106), Jared Goodson (113), and James Withrow (120) won the first three bouts. New Kent countered strongly in the next five title rounds with Kyle Gibson (126), Trace Ragland (132), Matthew Eberly (138), Patrick Jordon (144), and Jason Bennett (150) all winning their bouts, the final four by fall.
Poquoson’s Blake Latta won the 157-lb. class, followed by New Kent’s Aidan Richardson earning the 165-lb. title. Lafayette’s Dillon Fitzpatrick broke up the two-team individual sweep with his forfeit victory at 175.
Samuel Villasenor of Poquoson earned first at the 190-lb. class, while New Kent’s Seth Bayens won at 215. In the day’s final matchup, Tabb’s Diego Marin kept his undefeated season (29-0) in check, winning the 285-lb. division bout by fall.
Peninsula District Match
Gloucester pulled away from a scrappy Woodside team to earn the final meeting of all 10 Peninsula District teams last month at Phoebus High.
The Dukes scored 178 points, 18 more than the Wolverines.
Gloucester earned five individual titles, all in the lower weights, as Aiden Sheesley (106), Micah Bodiford (120), Ty Baker (126), Corey Skay (132), and Karl Dean (144) all winning their bouts by fall.
Woodside won three weight classes. Carmine McDaniel captured the 138-lb. division. Jewels Lewis won at 175, and Mustapha Coly placed first among the 215-lb. wrestlers.
Other individual winners included Phoebus’ Tomari Johnson (113), Heritage’s Zac Ray (150) and Semaj Hanesworth (157), Kaden Vandal (165) and James Goodman (190) of Bethel, and Michael McMullin of Phoebus at 285-lb.
