ZACH ARCHER, JUNIOR
WRESTLER, is this week's Capital Journal Area Athlete of the Week.
HIS PERFORMANCE: Archer
captured the 106-pound title at the Rossville Invitational with an impressive
showing, knocking off two ranked Class 3-2-1A wrestlers. After opening his day
with a first-period pin, Archer downed No. 6 Mason Scholz, of Atchison County,
3-0 in the semifinals to earn a shot at No. 1 Trevor Ragland, of Pleasant
Ridge. Archer dominated the championship match, taking a 7-0 win to improve to
15-1 on the season.
COACH’S COMMENT: “Our coaching staff challenged Zach this week to open up the
throttle and force his pace on his opponents no matter who they were,”
Rossville coach Courtney Horgan said. “He responded exactly like we hoped and
wrestled with a lot of confidence this weekend. He’s had a tendency to give
guys too much credit and wrestle conservatively sometimes, but he was the best
guy every time he stepped on the mat Saturday and he knew it.”
