This past Saturday, the Hurricanes wrestling team participated in the sectional tournament at Independence High School.
The other teams that participated were the Cuyahoga Heights Redskins, the Fairview Warriors, the Columbia Raiders, the Wellington Dukes, the Independence Blue Devils, and the Villa Angela Saint Joseph Vikings.
Joe Dennis, Eric Khay, Dylan Elliot, and Tyler Kebbel were the Hurricane wrestlers for this event.
Elliott (a junior), unfortunately, lost his first match of the day ending with 5-0 defeat. He also lost his next and final match 9-0.
Kebbel (a freshman) started off with a 19-3 loss and then was defeated in his second match (2-0) as well.
Dennis (another freshman) started sectionals with a 2-0 loss, followed by a 16-0 defeat. However, he refused to quit and won his third and final match 7-4. This victory earned him a fifth place finish and a spot in the upcoming district tournament.
Joining Dennis is senior captain Eric Khay. He lost his first two matches 2-0 and 8-2, but after collecting his composure, he ended his sectional tournament with two wins, 4-0 and 6-2. He placed third in his weight class and will advance.
The district tournament will take place at Garfield Heights High School on March 6-7. The time has yet to be announced.
Cheer on your Hurricanes wrestlers, and wish them the best of luck.
