Middle School ACAC

The Middle School Jets won the ACAC tournament for the second year in a row by holding off a hard charging Heritage squad. This was probably the closest finish in the history of the Middle School ACAC tournament as AC won by a mere 2 points. Tucker Miller (90 pounds) and Karthon McCullough (145) won championships for the Jets. You can see results of the championship and consolation matches here.

Individual State Finals

The season ended for the BAGUBAs Friday night at the state finals when Chantz Luginbill lost to eventual state champion Brian Harvey, 19-6. Chantz showed the true spirit of a BAGUBA as he aggressively attacked Harvey, uninhibited by his #1 ranking in the state polls. Eventually, Harvey's skill on his feet proved too much as he repeatedly won the scrambles for take downs. Qualifying for state was still a well-earned reward for the dedication and extra work Chantz has put in the past two years. Congratulations of a great season, Chantz.

Fort Wayne Snider Individual Semi-State

Chantz Luginbill was the only bright spot in a day of disappointments for the Jets. Chantz pinned KC Corey of Snider in his first match and dominated Tommy Kendall of Elkhart Memorial to earn a trip to next week's state finals. He then lost a close match in the semi-finals and ended with a fourth place finish. The rest of the BAGUBAs didn't fair as well as it seemed like every close match went against them. Five Adams Central wrestlers advanced to the second round and had opportunities to advance to state, but Ben Pfister and Derek Roe lost overtime matches while Cody Walburn lost a 1-point decision. Derek Ellinger drew the eventual champion of his weight class in that round. You can see the championship and consolation results along with other Adams Central match results and a list of the number of wrestlers advancing by team on this page.
