Geneseo claims title at Morton’s Bob and Liz Schnarr Invite
As Geneseo prepares for its 20-team Geneseo Wrestling Invitational this weekend that includes three teams in the top five in the state rankings, Joliet Catholic Academy (fourth in 3A), IC Catholic Prep (third in 2A) and the host Maple Leafs (fifth in 2A), it certainly has a lot of momentum since it’s coming off its third tournament title of the season after taking top honors at Morton’s Bob and Liz Schnarr Invitational.
Coach Jon Murray’s Maple Leafs added to individual tournament championships last month at Rockford East’s E-Rab Giardini Invitational and Lincoln’s Floyd Bee Memorial Holiday Tournament by winning the 21-team competition after scoring 253 points, placing them 83.5 points ahead of runner-up Yorkville Christian, who edged the host Potters 169.5-168.5 for second place. The rest of the top 10 included Richwoods (121), Triad (118), Dunlap (95), Lincoln (89), Limestone (83), East Peoria (82) and Champaign Central (75).
1 – Geneseo
The Maple Leafs were led by six champions, Devan Hornback (25-3 at 132), Izaac Gaines (23-2 at 144), Malaki Jackson (16-3 at 150), Zachary Montez (25-0 at 160), Kye Weinzierl (25-2 at 175) and Colten Mooney (20-9 at 215), as well as two second-place finishers, Tim Sebastian (126) and Grady Hull (157). Gaines, Hornback and Jackson tied for second place in team points with 28, Weinzierl tied for fifth with 27.5 points and Montez, one of two champions who are unbeaten, was tenth with 26.5 team points.
Geneseo, which also claimed third place at Downers Grove South’s Larry Gassen Dual Team Tournament, received fifth-place finishes from Aaron Betcher (190) and Owen King (285) and a sixth-place showing from Brycen Fahnestock (106). Others who contributed to the title cause were Leo Rizzo (120) and Lincoln Barnett (138). In other noteworthy tournament feats, Jackson led all competitors with 66 match points, Montez had the most wins by technical fall with three, King ranked second in falls with four and Gaines tied for third in pins with three.
2 – Yorkville Christian
Coach Mike Vester’s Mustangs, who are ranked seventh in Class 2A, earned a top-four tournament finish for the sixth time, adding to titles at Joliet Central’s McLaughlin, Plano’s Reaper and Unity Christian’s New Years Duals plus a runner-up showing at West Chicago’s Hein and a fourth at Antioch’s DeRousse. They were led by champions Ryan Festerling, Jr. (20-2 at 106) and Aiden Larsen (25-3 at 120) and runner-up Garrett Tunnell (285).

3 – Morton
Coach Edward Henderson’s Potters, who are now ranked 14th in Class 2A, claimed their third top-three tournament of the season, adding to a title at Pontiac’s Munch and a third at Joliet Central’s McLaughlin when they fell just short of a runner-up effort at their invite.
Harrison Dea (28-3 at 126) was Morton’s lone champion while Caiden Robison (138) and Clay Mckee (165) placed second, Ryan Siebenthal (106), Noah Harris (113) and Cash Hill (120) took third place, Carter Jones (150) and Colton Mckee (175) finished fourth, Brody Watson (120) was fifth and Lincoln Yerby (132) and Miles Chaffer (215) claimed sixth place. Dea tied for fifth place for the most team points with 27.5 while Watson and Yerby tied for third in most pins with three.
Also winning championships were Normal West’s Dylan McGrew (24-5 at 113), Champaign Central’s Ron Baker III (22-0 at 138), United Township’s Kayden Marolf (11-2 at 157), Limestone’s Ethan Dixon (22-4 at 190) and East Peoria’s Jose Del Toro (29-1 at 285).
