Northern Ky has 4 individual champs. Campbell County comes in 2nd overall.

 

Branden Johnson of Dixie wins the Heavyweight (285). Pins his way thru the tournament. He's a junior. Dixie finishes 10th overall.

 

Austin Meyers (junior) of Campbell Co. wins the 220 division. Was on an absolute role. Wins first 4 matches in 8 sec, 18 sec, 9 sec, and 33 sec. Wins the finals on a technical fall. Outstanding.

 

Johnny Meiman (sophomore) of Ryle wins at 170. Wins finals in overtime. Ryle comes in 9th overall in the standings

 

Sean Fausz (senior) wins at 138. 3 major decisions a technical fall and a pin in 48 sec.

 

Congratulations to all.

Johnson's five pins took a grand total of two minutes, fifty-one seconds of mat time. I know very little about wrestling, but that's damned impressive.

On the way to the title Johnson defeated the only two "Undefeated" kids at 285 in state.

Does Branden want to wrestle or play football in college? I am sure he will get an opportunity to do both if he wants..

Has Dixie had a state champ before?

Congrats to "freshman" Casey Cornett (SK) who was state runner-up in the 160 class. This young man has a bright wrestling future ahead of him.

 

Well done NKY on a very good showing at state. :thumb:

Meyers had 4 pins in 68 seconds. Crazy.

I don't remember names but I read an 8th grader beat a senior who will wrestle at OkState. That's pretty impressive.

Should have bonded the text instead if quoting it. They were undefeated.
