1,000s of Parent conversations taught me this:

Kids don’t want to quit because they are burned out.

They want to quit due to the frustration of investing their time, but seeing no progress or reward.

Congratulations to future #Patriots🗽Bowen Gardner for winning 🥇 the OAC Grade School State Championship! Only a 6th grader, he placed 3rd 🥉 at the OAC JH State Championship the weekend before!

Wow … the bottom part says it all

[Josh Lowe @JoshMLowe]

Ben Kaiser (Versailles) has just become the heaviest weight class freshman to win an Ohio state title. He wins 4-3 over Chris Timms (INdian Lake). Beat him for the third time in as many weeks. First titlte for Versailles since 1989, third ever.

[Josh Lowe @JoshMLowe]

And with that the 2025-26 wrestling season is officially done. Congrats to everyone. What an energetic night.

Aiden Peterson gets an elusive state title. He went 4 pins in four bouts at 215. St. Edward wins a third state title and gave a valiant fight in falling short by five points (173.5-168.5)

[Josh Lowe @JoshMLowe]

Grey Burnett. 3x state champion. He wins 4-1 over Wurster. With that result, Perrysburg are the 2026 OHSAA Division I individual tournament team champions.

Huggy Williams gets a last second takedown taken off the board and drops a 1-0 dec...he finishes his OL career as a 4x Sectional Champ, 4x District Champ and a 4x State Placer! He will continue his career at Ohio University! #Patriots🗽

[Josh Lowe @JoshMLowe]

D1 team race --
Perrysburg 158.5 plus 6 for Denkins (132) MFF, so 164.5. Three other finals, one head on at 138 that they are clear underdogs
St. Edward 154.5 with four, one of which is the 138 head-on that they should bonus.
Should PB win the other two, Eagles need sweep.

[Josh Lowe @JoshMLowe]

Williams (O. Liberty) will win 4-1 over Mellon (Wadsworth) in the D1 144 semi to ensure a fourth top five finish in his career. 4th, 5th, 4th, and now either 3rd or 4th.

Tonight at 7 PM is the entry deadline for lineups for (boys) wrestling sectionals that take place on Saturday in Ohio. Seed nomination info from each site will trickle out starting ~8:00. Impact scratches and weight changes, I will note in red within my state forecast Google doc.

I think it's safe to say St. Edward will be the 1, Avon Lake the 8, Moeller & O. Liberty the 6 & 7 in some order. The rest is subject to some interpretation - though I think Brecksville at 5 is also a reasonable presumption.
