Union Local Rick Link Invitational - (12/7/19)


By KIM NORTH
Times Leader Sports Writer

MORRISTOWN -- For the second time in three years, Barnesville has captured the team title at the Union Local Rick Link Invitational wrestling tournament. During the 21st annual pool-style event Saturday inside àThe Hangará at Union Local High School, the Shamrocks piled up 260 points.
Despite having only two individual champions in sophomores Griffen Stephen (113) and Carter Wells (120), Barnesville relied on its depth to hold off runnerup Geneva, a D-II school from the Cleveland area, which totalled 248.5. The Shamrocks had four runnersup and a trio of third-placers. Stephen is a returning state qualifier.
The Eagles, meanwhile, had five titlists, but had just two other placers -- both of which finished fourth. Taking titles were Johnny Wayslaw (132), Caleb Selman (160), Cole Vennis (170), Brandon Thomas (195) and Charles Taylor (220), a returning state qualifier who is ranked 13th in Ohio by Borofan.
The win gives the Shamrocks some momentum heading into their own Doan Ford Invitational bracket-style event, which begins Friday and continues through Saturday nightás championship finals.
Buckeye Local had a pair of titlists in junior Brian Palmer Jr. (138) and senior Charles Smith (182). Palmer, who picked up his 96th career win, pinned his way to the title.
Shenandoah also had two champs in Alex Overly (106) and Easton Hitchens (285). Both are returning state qualifiers.
Union Localás Brady Crum (152) gave the home fans something to cheer about when he rallied past Barnesvilleás Cameron Woods, 4-3, for his title.
Edisonás Hayden Johnson (145), a returning state qualifier, and Tri-Valleyás Garrett Folden (126) were the other champions.
