E-P takes 2nd and Fulton 4th at Carson DeJarnatt Tournament
By TY REYNOLDS treynolds@shawmedia.com
Local wrestlers competed in the 44th annual Carson DeJarnatt Tournament on Saturday, Dec. 3, at Musgrove Fieldhouse in Sterling.
The Dukes celebrated their second straight team title and third in the past four seasons the tournament has been held.
S e a n D e V r i e s p i n n e d F u l t o n ’ s Braiden Damhoff in 1:33. Damhoff looked to throw the lighter DeVries early in the match, but DeVries fended it off and ended up getting Damhoff in a tough spot to finish the heavyweight title bout in the first period.
“I thought I had a throw there, but I messed up and he took advantage,” Damhoff said. “But I definitely feel like I set the tone for my season by making the finals, and I feel like I’ve got a lot more confidence now.”
The bout of the tournament was the 160-poun d championship betwe en Erie-Prophetstown’s Jase Grunder and Sterling’s Tommy Tate, both past DeJarnatt champions.
The two wrestled to a scoreless tie through the first period, then Grunder took the lead with an escape midway through the second and a takedown with 30 seconds left in the period. But Tate escaped right at the horn to cut the deficit to 3-1, then scored a reversal with 25 seconds left in the third period to tie the match 3-3.
Looking like things were headed to overtime, Grunder fought out of the b o t t o m p o s i t i o n a n d m a n a ge d t o escape with nine seconds remaining and secure the 4-3 win.
“I knew I had to get a takedown. I got an escape to go up 1-0, and I’m really strong on my feet, and once I got that 3-0 lead, I knew I could relax a little bit with a nice lead,” said Grunder, who was voted by the coaches as the most outstanding wrestler of the upper weights. “He scrambled a little bit there, and he’s really good at scrambling, and he got the reversal. But I’m really strong on the bottom, and even with nine seconds left, I knew I was probably one of the best escapers here, and I went and got it.”
Tate said he was doing everything he could to keep Grunder from getting away, but couldn’t match the E-P s e n i o r ’ s s t r e n g t h i n t h e w a n i n g moments.
D i x o n ’ s E t h a n M i c k f a c e d o f f against Erie-Prophetstown junior Luke Otten in the final, but got in a bad spot early on. Otten finished off the bout with a pin in 3:32 to claim his first-ever high school tournament crown.
“I came in with my head on straight and just wrestled like I knew how. I took him down and I knew I could get it. I just kept working at it and ended up with the pin,” Otten said. “It feels really good. I can’t really say that I’ve won a tournament before, so I’m off to a good start this year. I’m excited for the season. I’ve won JV tournaments, but nothing like this. It feels nice.”
