Zach and Alex In State Finals
HAYS — About midway through the season,
Rossville’s Zach Archer began riding a wave of confidence after beating several
quality opponents.
“It’s really cool because neither of us have placed at state before,” Zach
Archer said. “And now we’re both in the finals in the same year.”
Allen, 42-6 on the season, will meet Phillipsburg’s Jacob Sisson (29-5) in the
finals.
Horn (34-5) clinched his spot in the 132-pound finals with an 8-3 decision over
Beloit’s Tate Kadel in the semifinals.
Riley County’s Richard remains unbeaten
However, Riley County’s Mikey Waggoner took his first loss of the season in
heartbreaking fashion, falling 5-4 in overtime to Plainville’s Jordan Finnesy
at 170 pounds after Finnesy got a late escape. Waggoner dropped to 33-1 on the
season.
106 — Zach Archer, Rossville, dec. over Tyler Voss, 5-2; Knox, Goodland,
pinned, Grafel, Oberlin, 4:40.
152 — Zane Colson, Mankato-Rock Hills, dec. over Konnor Pfeifer, Ellis, 11-6;
Escareno, Eureka, dec. over Anthony Signs, Wellsville, 8-6.
That wave
ended up carrying Archer all the way into the 106-pound finals in the Class
3-2-1A state wrestling tournament.
Archer, who
has never placed at state before, upset No. 1-ranked Colby freshman Tyler Voss
in the semifinals, earning a 5-3 decision on Friday at Gross Memorial Coliseum.
“Especially
toward the middle of the year when I started beating some really good people,
it really started to come together,” Archer said.
Voss (38-8)
jumped in front with an early takedown, but Archer didn’t give up anything in
the second period and controlled the third.
“In the
second period, I rode him out and didn’t let him get any points, so I just knew
if I got an escape and got a takedown that it would pretty much be over,”
Archer said.
He will meet
Goodland’s D.J. Knox (40-11) in Saturday’s finals.
Moments after
punching his ticket to the final, Archer watched his older brother, Alex
Archer, do the same for Rossville at 120, advancing to the final with a 16-0
technical fall over Minneapolis’ Austin Roth.
Alex Archer
(35-5) will meet Eureka’s Kolby Beitz (30-2) in the finals.
Zach Archer
said his aggressive mindset against Voss paid off.
“Just make
sure to attack,” Zach Archer said of the strategy. “I think I did it pretty
well. I got taken down in the first, but then in the third period I got a
takedown.”
Zach Archer
opened with a major decision (13-3) over Norton’s Darius Shields then earned
another major decision (10-2) over Connor Booth-Hughes from Eureka to move to
the semis.
Alex Archer’s
path to the 120 finals included a pin over Dominic Davis in the first round and
a 10-8 decision win over Fredonia’s Hunter Reddick in the quarterfinals.
Silver Lake’s Allen knocks off top-ranked 126-pounder
Silver Lake
sophomore Kai Allen beat the the top-ranked 126-pounder, grinding out a 1-0
decision over Hill City’s Alec Segarra.
“My strategy
was just wrestle my match — don’t wrestle not to lose, but wrestle to win,”
Allen said. “I think I did fairly well. I think I executed what I needed to do
in order to win, and that showed.”
Allen brought
home third place last year at 113 pounds.
“It, of
course, made me a lot more hungry to get better and to win,” Allen said. “I
think it helped me a lot.”
Allen opened
with a pin of Adam McPhail, of Cimarron, and also pinned Smith Center’s Joe
Stocker in the quarterfinal.
Riverside’s Horn advances to 132 finals
After a
disappointing 1-2 showing last year at the state tournament, Riverside junior
Beau Horn atoned with an impressive outing on Friday.
“Riding on
top, I knew that I was going to be able to turn him over,” Horn said. “That’s
what I did at the end of the match to get the victory — just ride him out a
little bit. My main objective was to get on top and stay on top.”
Horn will
meet Hoxie’s Dylan Weimer (38-6) in the finals.
“I was very
happy, but then I was like, ‘Well, I still have one more and it’s going to be
even tougher,’ ” Horn said.
One Riley
County undefeated season remained intact, while another streak was snapped for
the Falcons.
Senior Luke
Richard moved to 42-0 on the season and advanced to the 145-pound finals with a
12-1 major decision over Hoxie’s Aidan Baalman. He will meet Plainville’s
Brandon Rohr for the title.
After edging
Lakin’s Hadley Panzer in overtime in the semifinals last year on the way to an
285-pound title, Sabetha’s Elliot Strahm lost the rematch to Panzer in another
overtime bout in the semis Friday. Panzer won 4-2.
At 195
pounds, Rossville’s Kody Davoren made it to the semis before being pinned in
the third period by Hoisington’s Wyatt Pedigo.
Sabetha’s
Cauy Rokey made it to the 220 semifinals before suffering an early fall to
Norton’s Hayden Wiltfong.
Wellsville’s
Anthony Signs reached the 152 semifinal before taking an 8-6 decision loss to
Eureka’s Brent Escareno.

Bulldawgs To State At Hays
From the Capital-Journal:
Rossville
won’t have a large contingent at this weekend’s 3-2-1A state meet, sending just
four wrestlers to Hays.
But
the Bulldawgs maximized their qualifiers with all four going to state after
capturing regional titles. Zach Archer (106), Alex Archer (120), Sam Twombly
(138) and Kody Davoren (195) each secured regional titles at home last weekend
and all four head to state with at least 30 wins.
Zach Archer (35-4)
could hold Rossville’s best shot at capturing a state championship, going into
the state meet ranked No. 2 at 106. He is on the same side of the bracket,
however, as No. 1 Tyler Voss of Colby, who is 36-7.
Alex
Archer (32-5) and Kody Davoren (35-4) are both ranked No. 4 at their respective
weights. Archer likely will take on No. 3 Hunter Reddick of Fredonia in the
quarterfinals, but No. 1 and two-time champion Kolby Beitz of Eureka and No. 2
Drew Bell of Hoxie are on the opposite side of the bracket.
Davoren,
meanwhile, is on the same side of the bracket as No. 1 Wyatt Pedigo of
Hoisington, who was the 182-pound champion last year. Also on Davoren’s side of
the bracket are No. 3 Ryan Junkermeier of Plainville and No. 6 Dagen Goodner of
Humboldt.
Silver Lake is
sending seven wrestlers to Hays with Kai Allen the lone regional champion in
the group. Allen (39-6) is ranked No. 3 at 126 pounds and is on the same side
of the bracket as No. 1 Alec Segarra of Hill City.
Eagle
freshman Daigan Kruger suffered his first loss in an abbreviated season at
regionals and is ranked No. 4 at 152 with a 7-1 mark. His path includes a
potential quarterfinal clash with No. 1 and unbeaten Zane Colson of Rock Hills.
