La Plata put seven wrestlers in the finals and produced five champions to win the Lackey tournament for the second consecutive year this past Saturday.
Dylan Dull (103 pounds), Jason Jennings (112), Mike Garrow (125), Nick Romero (135) and Brent Mowry (152) all reached the top of the podium in carrying the Warriors to a total of 274 points, 18 better than runner-up Stephen Decatur. The tournament featured both of last year’s 4A/3A state champions, as La Plata won the tournament title while Decatur won the state duals crown. La Plata qualified wrestlers for the finals in each of the lightest six weight classes from 103 to 135, winning four. North Point finished third in the tournament with 196.5 points, Chopticon fourth at 172. Patuxent rounded out the top five with 151.
The Seahawks earned three individual championships, with Devin Bataille (119), Corey Tobias (130) and Danny Miller (215) each nabbing the top spot in their respective classes. Zane McBride (171) and Isiah Shelton (285) produced a pair of championships for C.H. Flowers.
Rounding out the champions, Chopticon’s Stephen Cannon nipped North Point’s Tyler Schirf 4-2 in overtime in the 140-pound final. North Point got a championship at 145 with Phillip Meadows‘ 8-5 win over Westlake’s Michael Lancaster. Thomas Stone’s Zach Lohr took a 5-3 decision from Decatur’s Danny Kominos at 160. And, at 189, Patuxent’s Andrew Lloyd won by a 14-1 major decision over Decatur’s Mike Meekins.
