From The Capital-Journal:
ZACH ARCHER, ROSSVILLE, AND CONNOR SEARCY, TONGANOXIE | WRESTLING SENIORS
ARCHER’S PERFORMANCE: After capturing his first state title last year with the Class 3-2-1A 106-pound crown, Archer capped a stellar senior season with his second straight state title, taking the 113-pound championship. Archer, who finished the year 41-1, pinned his first opponent at state in 23 seconds and then posted three straight major decisions, including an 11-3 win over Osage City’s Connor Collins in the finals.
COACH’S COMMENT: “Zach has quietly been one of the best lightweights in the state the last two years and that’s just how he likes it,” Rossville coach Courney Horagan said. “It fits his personality. He was mentally and physically prepared for this weekend and it was fun to watch. The kid is tough as nails.”
SEARCY’S PERFORMANCE: Bouncing back from an injury to capture the Class 4A 195-pound state title a year ago, Searcy showed just how dominating he could be in winning the 220-pound state title this season. Searcy pinned three of his four state foes, including a second-period fall of Andale’s Cayden Winter in the championship match. He finished the year 44-1 with his lone loss coming to 5A state champion Cade Lautt of St. James Academy.
COACH’S COMMENT: “Connor has been driven to be the best all year,” Tonganoxie coach Brett Delich said. “He has worked hard every day on and off the mat doing all the right things that a champion must do. This past weekend in Salina it showed with his second consecutive state title.”
