The final major work for the junior Warriors took place Saturday at the home of the sectional, Plymouth, among the running of the Plymouth JV Invite.
The 14-team individual format featured just two other teams slated for next week’s sectional, the host Pilgrims and Warsaw, but had five of the other seven Northern Lakes Conference teams to provide familiarity to the competition.
Wawasee’s biggest highlight from Plymouth happened at 120, where teammates Luke Stuckman and Jaxon Senter faced off in the championship of the weight class. Stuckman scored a pair of first-period takedowns, and added another in the second along with a near fall to take an 8-1 lead into the final period. Senter chose top and worked his practice sparring partner into a near fall to open the third, only for Stuckman to get a reversal to secure enough points to claim the class title.
Zeke Spore pinned Warsaw’s Leo Castro to finish third at 126, and Rielyn Brettell scored three pins on the day, including one over Jimtown’s Kamden Flores in 34 seconds to finish third at 138.
Dalton Yoder, Payton Sewell and CJ Barnett were all fourth, and Dominic Brown, Ben Brace, Alex Dibble, Will Hoy and Blake Coburn were all fifth among Wawasee’s compliment.
