Then tech-falling Bell of Western Branch 19-3 in 3:45, he then major decisioned Latta of York 12-3. Jacob punched his ticket to the finals by pinning second seeded Sorensen of Grafton in 2:58. Jacob earned his 4th tournament title of the year with a solid 5-2 victory over top seeded Jordan Robins of Lafayette.

At the Franklin Bronco’s Duals, freshman Truman Skaggs and senior Jacob Roth won all five of their bouts. Truman won his first four bouts by pin and closed out the day with a free wheeling 15-10 over-time victory! The finest outing of his young wrestling career.

Senior Captain Jacob Roth(17-0) cruised to a 5-0 record on the day and finished with a pin in 1:28 vs. Deep Creek’s Tyler Merrill who had won his 100th match earlier in the day. Jacob also had an amazing 12-second pin in the previous round.

Eighth graders Porter Foster 132, Ty McKay, and Jake Rosenblum wrestled well against tough competition on the day.
