Here are the results for the BHS wrestling team after participating in the Sectionals – thank you for posting.
The Batesville High School wrestling team traveled to South Dearborn to participate in the 2015 wrestling Sectionals. There were nine teams competing for the Sectional title but only two teams were in the running. Each round the South Dearborn Knights and the Franklin County Wildcats went back and forth leading the way. It came down to the final match of the day before the 2015 Champions could be announced which went to South Dearborn by ½ point over Franklin County. The bulldogs came away in 8th place with one Sectional Champ (Will Amberger – 195 lb. class), three 3rd place finishers (Jackson Wooldridge – 120 lb. class, John Moody – 126 lb. class, Neal Nobbe – 160 lb. class), and one fifth place finisher (Hunter Fetters – 106 lb. class)
Senior captain Will Amberger had perfect day with three victories earning Batesville’s only Sectional Champion. Amberger’s first match was against Hunter Nichols of Rushville where he earned a decisive victory after pinning his opponent after just 27 seconds on the mat. Dario Guintini of East Central was Amberger’s next opponent where he fell short losing 3-6 to Amberger. This win moved Amberger to the Sectional finals against a talented Jake Cavins of Milan. Amberger controlled the entire match earning three takedowns and two escapes giving him the victory by a 8-3 decision and a second Sectional title for his career.
Senior Captain Neal Nobbe fell short to the 160 lb. runner-up Brandon manning of South Dearborn but earned three victories by pin on the day giving him a 3rd place finish. These three pins helped Nobbe tie the BHS single season pin record which is a great accomplishment for this year. Junior John Moody fell short to the Sectional Champ Johnny Loos of Franklin County but earned three victories by pin on the day giving him a 3rd place finish. Freshman Jackson Wooldridge fell short to the runner-up Jacob Lane of South Dearborn but earned three victories by pin on the day giving him a 3rd place finish.
Sophomore Hunter Fetters went 2-2 on the day earning a 5th place finish. Laiken Hanna, Nick Schneider, and Chris Schene, all wrestled well but fell short to some tough competitors.
All wrestlers finishing in 1st- 4th places will be advancing to the Regionals next weekend at Richmond.
Team Scores were: 1st South Dearborn – 228 points; 2nd Franklin County – 227.5 points; 3rd Lawrenceburg – 144 points; 4th Milan – 133 points; 5th Union County – 117 points; 6th East Central – 110 points; 7th Rushville – 100 points; 8th Batesville – 91 points; and 9th Connersville – 67 points.
