CRUSADERS IMPRESS IN LONESTAR STATE
Defending Division I state wrestling champion Brother Martin is off to a flying start in the 2012-2013 season.
The Crusaders of Robert Dauterive dominated competition at the Cinco Ranch Big 12 Invitational in Katy, Texas, defeating Katy, Texas 63-13 and Katy Seven Lakes 47-13 in dual meet competition.
Brother Martin took home first place in the team competition by a solid 47.5 points over Seven Lakes High with Klein finishing third.
The Crusaders advanced eight wrestlers to the championship final and placed 13 of 14 in the top five in a terrific team effort. The Crusaders crowned six individual champions, had two second-place finishes, a pair of third-place results, one fourth-place wrestler and another who came in fifth.
Individual champions for the Crusaders included:
120--Paul Klein, 138--Dominic Casadaban, 145--Tyler Robertson, 160--Devin Leblanc, 182--Kyle Delaune and 220--Josh Tapia.
Dauterive was very pleased with his team's showing. "The thing about the Texas kids is that they are all big strong and athletic," Dauterive said. "Seven Lakes was a very impressive bunch and I thought that we wrestled very well against them. We performed extremely well in the tournament finals. Even in a loss, heavyweight Ross Brister wrestled a great match against the No. 1 ranked heavyweight in Texas. Paul Klein was dominant during the trip. He pinned his opponent in the final in just 32 seconds."
Here are the team results from the Cinco Ranch Big 12 Invitational:
Brother Martin returns to action Tuesday for a three-way dual meet with Holy Cross and Fontainebleau at Fontainebleau.
