Ike’s Head wins Section I 2A title as number of Knights, Eagles advance
UNION CITY – Eisenhower 152-pounder Spencer Head claimed the District 10 Section 1 AA championship on Saturday in Union City.
Head, who received an opening round bye, went 2-0 to win arguably the toughest bracket in the tournament. The junior defeated Saegertown’s Zach Posego in the semifinals before beating Harborcreek’s Shane Watkins 3-2 in the finals.
Head was the only champion from 18 participating wrestlers from Ike and Youngsville. Youngsville’s Nathan Lehman reached the finals at 126 pounds, but settled for second place after falling to Nick Oosterkamp of Harbor Creek.
Ten other county wrestlers finished in the top four, allowing them to advance to the District 10 meet next weekend at Sharon High School. All told, Eisenhower advanced eight wrestlers while Younsgville advanced four.
Placing in the top four were: Logan Jaquay of Eisenhower (4th, 106 pounds), Josh Bortz of Eisenhower (4th, 113), Nathan Lehman (2nd, 126), Sam Holt of Eisenhower (3rd, 132), Aaron Morris of Youngsville (4th, 132), Garrett Head of Eisenhower (3rd, 145), Wyatt Scott of Younsgville (4th, 145), Spencer Head (1st, 152), Alex Barnett of Eisenhower (4th, 170), John Hummel of Eisenhower (4th, 182), Matt Huling of Eisenhower (4th, 195), Austin Spear of Younsgville (4th, 220), and John Bortz of Eisenhower (4th, 285).
Eisenhower finished fifth out of ten teams in the team standings, while Youngsville finished eighth. Fort LeBoeuf finished first, Saegertown second, and Harbor Creek, coached by Warren graduate Derek Chew, finished third.
The District 10 2A championships will be held at Sharon High School on Friday and Saturday.
