De Soto head coach John Brown and Windsor head coach Kevin Stoffey joked about which of their wrestling teams was going to win as they awaited the final outcome of the 40th annual Bob Georger Classic on Saturday.
The Dragons and Owls tied with 159 points, so the outcome came down to which team had the most individual champions. Windsor’s Grant Pauli (145 pounds), Jacob Warren (152) and Ryan Yarnell (182) won their weight classes, while Logan Zimmermann (160) and Landon Porter (heavyweight) captured titles for the Dragons. The 3-2 edge for Windsor proved the difference.
While the Owls won the tournament by the slimmest of margins, they’ll have to beat the Dragons tonight (Thursday) in a dual meet if they are to unseat De Soto, the five-time and defending Jefferson County Activities Association champions.
