Time for the State Tournament. Here we go!!!
#2 Ben Willeford enters the tournament with a 36-10 record. The only man to beat Ben in the tournament is the #1 seeded Joshua Flick. Ben will wrestle in the first round of competition against Zack Sloan of Chalmette.
Landon Carr enters the tournament unseeded and with a .500 record. He recieved a favorable draw and will meet Ramanand Naik(Bossier) in the first round.
Tonny Desselle comes in unseeded and will face #2 Landon Robin(Parkway) in the first round. He will have to be his best to make a run at Robin.
#3 Will Bellefontaine(13-7) comes into the tournament on some what of a roll. He placed 2nd in the JV city tournament and 3rd in the Varsity Tournament. That earned him the #3 seed and he will face Zack Armand(Chalmette) in the first round of the tournament.
Michael Podnar is coming off of an injury and making a go at the State tournament. He will face #5 Joshua Parker(St. Thomas More) in the first round. This is definitely a winable match for Michael.
#3 Zach Braud(18-7) is looking for a top finish this year. He lost a heartbreaker last year in the first round when, as an unseeded wrestler, he dropped a 4-3 decision to the #2 seed. Zach looks to be ready to make a run this year and will wrestle in the first round.
Every year one wrestler gets a tough draw. This year it is Seth Fontenot. He drew the #1 seed Ben Collins(Shaw). Seth is also in the only full bracket. He will have to wrestle his best to earn a top 6 finish. We have every confidence he will do so.
Jared Dietrich will wrestle in the first round against Todd Thomas(Istrouma). He can win this match if he sticks to his basics. He has had a good week of practice and looks ready.
#4 Seth Leblanc(25-12) is confident that he can win the tournament this weekend. He has wrestled well for the last couple of weeks and gets a first round bye. His first match will be in the second round most probably against #5 Chris Pastrana(Shaw). A win in that match will put him in the semis.
Derek Lemoine got an excellent draw. He has a first round bye and will probably wrestle the #3 Josh Wolverton(Parkway) in the second round. A victory in this match would put Derek in the semis.
#2 Marshall Leavoy(27-8) is looking to erase the memories of last year. He entered the tournament last year as the #3 seed and was beaten by the #6 seed 17-16. Marshall comes in on a role and looks focused. He won the City Championship and wants to add the State Championship to his resume. Marshall has to get past Arthur Hoover(Lee) in the first round to make a run this year.
Clay Tucker comes in unseeded and looked good in practice today. He has shown more fire than I have seen from him at any time this year and can win some matches this year at State. He has a first round match with Jose Johnson(Northwood)
Corey Creed is another guy that has been wrestling well and will be a darkhorse at the State tournament. Corey will face Jan Cox(Haughton) in the first round. I look for Corey to turn some heads at State.
#5 Jordan Staples has a first round bye. He will face the winner of #4 Eric Pease(Haughton) and unseeded Dedric Kelley(Bossier). Jordan looks ready to go.
So for those counting wrestling for us will begin at 11a.m. on Friday morning. The following wrestlers will have first round matches: Ben Willeford, Landon Carr, Tonny Desselle, Will Bellefontaine, Michael Podnar, Zach Braud, Seth Fontenot, Jared Dietrich, Marshall Leavoy, Clay Tucker, and Corey Creed. The second round of the championships will begin about 1pm. There are only 58 first round matches and with 4 mats going these matches will go fast(approx. 1 to 1.5 hours). There are only 9 matches in the first round of consolations. That should take less than 10 minutes on 4 mats. Let's go Warriors. Time to have some fun.
