Rams 10th at C.B. Classic

Glenwood had four boys wrestlers reach the podium and went on to place 10th at the Council Bluffs Wrestling Classic at the Mid America Center Saturday.

The Ram boys took just eight boys wrestlers to the tournament and still came out with a top 10 finish in a field of 42 teams from Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas. Millard South was the boys team champion with 564.5 points.

Glenwood’s girls were 26th with 110 points. Washburn, Kan. won the girls team title with 648 points. Council Bluffs Lewis Central was the runner up with 433.5.

“The kids wrestled really well,” said Glenwood coach Tucker Weber. “And I think our girls wrestled really well too. It was a tough tournament with a lot of good competition.”

The Rams four medalists in the boys bracket went a combined 17-0 on day one to advance to the gold bracket.

Tate Mayberry was the runner up at 152-pounds. The senior dropped a 7-4 match to Logan Stott’s of Waukee Northwest in the finals.

“Tate’s wrestling really well right now,” Weber said. “He had kind of a late start to the season waiting on an MRI of his knee but he came back pretty good and he’s hungry. He’s a senior this year so hopefully we can keep him wrestling like that.”

In a 132-pound weight division that included 20 ranked wrestlers from four states, Matthew Beem was third. Beem scored a 6-4 decision over Omaha Skutt’s Drew Cooper for third place. Beem lost his semifinal match to defending Nebraska state champion Gabe Turman of Lincoln East in a first period fall.

“He had a really good tournament,” Weber said of Beem. “He wrestled well in that semifinals match but got caught in late take down.”

C.J. Carter picked up a medal after his opponent in the 195-pound third place match, Danarii Mickel of Ames was disqualified.

Mason Koehler was sixth in the 220-pound division. The freshman lost his final match to Mill Valley’s Christopher Wash, 3-1.

“He’s wrestling really well now as a freshman,” Weber said.

The girls tournament featured 32 teams with dozens of ranked wrestlers from both Iowa and Nebraska.

“It was definitely the best competition they’ve seen all year so that was eye opening for them,” Weber said. “But I think they went out a competed and that’s what we asked for.”

Maya Rivas was the Rams top place winners. The freshman placed seventh with a first period fall of Millard South’s Yvette Vargas.

“She goes hard,” Weber said. “We just need to get her a gas tank and she’ll be really good. She goes out and competes really well. She has a lot of ability and she’s only been wrestling two years. She has a big upside.”

Glenwood’s Audrina Johansen (110 pounds) and Emily Lundvall (120) both notched ninth place finishes. Johansen was ninth after defeating North Scott’s Chevy Fierce by first period fall and Lundvall pinned Papillion-LaVista’s Jameiah Taylor for her medal.

Lauralyse Flint-Spencer of Glenwood was 10th in 130-pound division. She was pinned by Sierra Wieland of the Council Bluffs Consolidated School District’s Co-op team, in the first period.

Rams sweep at Plattsmouth

The Glenwood girls and boys wrestling teams swept Plattsmouth in a road dual Thursday.

The Ram boys had six pins in their 45-18 dual win and the girls shutout the Blue Devils, 30-0 for their first dual win of the season.

“We were shorthanded a little bit but so were they,” said Glenwood coach Tucker Weber. “All the kids wrestled well. We had six pins so that always helps.”

Glenwood had five girls to the Blue Devils’ three but the Rams notched three pins in their three wrestled matches. The Rams closed out it with two exhibition match wins.

“Everybody got a match, which was nice,” Weber said. “The girls were pumped up.”

Rams 3-0 at road triangular

The Glenwood wrestling picked up a trio of victories on the road at Harlan last Tuesday,

The Rams swept Southwest Iowa 66-12, Harlan 48-27 and Council Bluffs St. Albert 47-12.

“We went 3-0 and got two conference victories, most importantly,” said Glenwood coach Tucker Weber. “We moved our lineup around a little bit against a Harlan and it worked. I think if we can get healthy we can have a very strong dual team.”

Britten Maxwell (132), Matthew Beem (138), Reese Fauble (145), Kellan Scott (160/170), Mason Koehler (220) and Trent Patton (285) all won three matches on the night.

In a battle of the top two ranked 195-pounders the Rams’ No. 2 rated C.J. Carter dropped a decision to top rated Harlan’s Zane Bendorf, 8-4. It was the second straight win for Bendorf over Carter already this season.

“We’ll probably see him five times this season,” Weber said. “They’re going to see each other and each match is going to be a little bit different. He’s gotten the best of us these first couple times so we have to find a way to open him up and score some points and get some takedowns. Those are fun matches to watch.”
