Rams crown two at H-10 conference tournament

ATLANTIC - Glenwood’s Vinny Mayberry and C.J Carter brought home individual titles and the Rams placed third at the Hawkeye 10 Conference wrestling meet Saturday in Atlantic.

The host Trojans had three individual champions and won the team title with 238 points. Creston was third with 228 followed by Glenwood’s 160.5 points.

“I think our kids wrestled well,” said Glenwood coach Tucker Weber. “We were open at three weights, it’s hard to get some points and compete against full teams when you’re down three but we did wrestle well. Some of our kids beat a couple kids they lost to earlier this year.”

Mayberry was repeat conference champion after winning the 106-pound division as a freshman last season. He won 113 this year with a 17-2, technical fall win over Council Bluff St. Albert’s Christian Williams. Mayberry notched a pair of pins over Atlantic’s Taye Jordan and Red Oak’s Brandon Erp to reach the finals.

“Williams is ranked at 120 and he dropped down to 113,” Weber said of Mayberry’s finals match. “They wrestled earlier in the year and Vinney beat him by eight or nine last time so it’s always good to see him beat kids by more points. He wrestled well.”

Carter, the No. 2 ranked 195-pounder in the state, also pinned his first two opponents – Clarinda’s Brayden Northwehr and Council Bluffs Lewis Central’s Dillon Woods – to reach the finals. In the championship match, the Ram junior won a hard fought 5-2 decision over Denison’s Jaxson Hildrebrand.

“C.J. is probably one of our most improved wrestlers from last year as far as opening up and putting more skills in his arsenal,” Weber said. “He’s wrestled the kids from Denison once this year already and probably 10 or 11 times in their high school careers. When you wrestled a solid kid like that, they’re going to be close. He (Carter) pinned him earlier this year. I’m excited to see what the rest of the year holds for him.”

The Rams’ Matthew Beem also reached the finals but came up short of a third conference title for his team with a tough 4-2 loss to Atlantic’s Ethan Follman to finish second.

“Follman placed fifth at state last year and Matt was seventh,” Weber said. “They’ve wrestled I think four times in the last two years and every one has been close. He (Beem) definitely out-wrestled the kid, we just need to finish more shots and get it done.”

Reese Fauble (138 pounds), Kellan Scott (145), and Tyler Boldra (160) all earned third place medals.

Boldra suffered a quarterfinals loss to Creston’s Williams Bollinger in a 6-1 decision but came back to beat Bollinger 3-2 in the third place match.

“That improvement throughout the day was good to see,” Weber said.

The Rams are back in action Saturday in Harlan for the Class 2A sectionals. The top two finishers in each weight class advanced to the Feb. 12 districts tournament hosted by Glenwood.

“I think we’ve been putting the work in and we’re focused on getting as many kids as we can out of the sectional and wrestle in front of our home crowd at districts with a chance to go to state,” Weber said. “I think we’re mentally prepared this week to do our best in Harlan.”
