Boys’ recaps for Litchfield, Geneseo, Quincy, and Kewanee

LITCHFIELD’S RICH LOVELLETTE INVITE

Westville/Georgetown-Ridge Farm coach Austin Hedrick got individual titles from Vance Johnson (20-7 at 138) and Conner Mahaffey (18-13 at 144) and a runner-up finish from Ethan Miller (30-3 at 190) to lead a pack of 11 wrestlers winning place-medals.

That was enough to edge second-place Cumberland 169-154 to snare the team title of this year’s 16-team Rich Lovelette Invitational, hosted by Litchfield.

“Great tournament for us. The boys wrestled tough,” Hedrick said. “The backside of the bracket was huge for us. We had guys battle back for third and fifth which helped tremendously. We had some of our freshmen come through huge for us.”

Freshman Mahaffey went 3-0 in winning his title at 144, and Johnson is a sophomore who won four matches on his way to the title at 138 pounds.

1st- Westville/Georgetown-Ridge Farm (169)
In addition to sending three to the championship mat, coach Austin Hedrick got thirds from Kason Cramer (14-16 at 106), Levi Miller (22-11 at 132), Liam Hughes (22-12 at 157) and Bleigthen Irelan (14-5 at 215), fourths from Eric Roberson (16-9 at 150), and a sixth from Kendall Newell (16-13 at 285).

Westville had 16 pins in the tournament and its 246 total match points was the most by any team.
“This is kind of the first time this season we’ve really put a complete tournament together and we were missing our starter at 175,” Hedrick said. “Looking forward to the postseason, we’re looking to make some noise in February when it matters most.”

2nd- Cumberland (154)
Coach Ash Edmonds’ Pirates got a trio of titles from Peyton Groves (25-4 at 106), Sawyer Welbaum (27-5 at 132) and Owen McGinnis (25-7 at 157), a second from Daniel Nichols (23-10 at 165), a third from Logan Aaron (22-11 at 138), fourths from Jared Koester (6-3 at 144) and Jaxson Dukeman (25-9 at 150), fifths from Mason Robinson (19-15 at 144) and Max Strader (23-10 at 190), and a sixth from Stratton Skidmore (15-16 at 126).

Cumberland led all teams with 21 pins in the tournament.

3rd- Freeburg (137)
Freeburg got an individual title from Jack Amann (33-4 at 285) for coach Dan Quartz, plus seconds from Eli Schaefer (25-11 at 106), Devon Jensen (15-8 at 132), Colt Hess (28-11 at 175) and Dane Olmstead (28-4 at 215), a third from Brayden Jackson (19-19 at 120), and fifths from Brock Becker (18-12 at 125), Broden Becker (23-18 at 138) and Cooper Kisgen (19-14 at 165).

Freeburg’s four tech falls were the most by any team present.

Joliet Catholic coach Ryan Cumbee sent eight wrestlers to the title mat and got six individual titles to lead a 287-225.5 win over second-place Geneseo, at this year’s 14-team Geneseo Invitational.
The top-ranked team in 3A had 13 wrestlers placed in the top four of their weight classes.

“Great tournament to get us locked in for the conference tournament and state series,” Cumbee said. “I feel so good about the way we’re wrestling. Joliet Catholic is happy to wrestle like we’re capable.”
The win marked Joliet Catholic’s third team title of the season, to go with wins at Prospect and Grant. The Hilltoppers were also third at Iowa’s Donnybrook, fifth at DeKalb, sixth at Wisconsin’s Cheesehead and eighth at this year’s Dvorak tournament.
