8th Annual Dual Team Wrestling State Tournament Recap

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Divisions I and II came down to the final weight class while Division III saw a record-breaking margin of victory as Lakewood St. Edward (I), Louisville (II) and Milan Edison (III) took home championship trophies at the 2020 OHSAA Team Wrestling State Tournament at St. John Arena Sunday.
 
Lakewood St. Edward won its second-consecutive and fifth overall OHSAA Division I dual team wrestling championship in the tournaments’ eight-year history. Down 30-24 heading into the final two weight classes, the Eagles needed clutch performances from two seniors. Nickolas Lisco and Zachary Taylor delivered with pins in both the 220 and 285 pound weight classes to give St. Edward the 36-30 victory. On its way to the finals, St. Edward defeated Beavercreek 52-13 in the quarterfinals and Wadsworth 50-12 in the semifinals. The title ups the Eagles’ total number of wrestling state championships in the team and individual tournaments to an OHSAA-record 38.
 
 
 
 
Like Division I, the Division II title came down to the final bout. Leading 31-30 entering the 285 pound matchup, Louisville senior Blake Robbins handed St. Paris Graham Local its first loss in OHSAA Team Wrestling State Tournament history with a 3-1 sudden victory. Louisville’s 34-30 win is the program’s first team wrestling state championship. The Leopards defeated Hamilton Ross 69-6 in the quarterfinals and Bellevue 51-22 in the semifinals.
 
 
 
 
Milan Edison earned its second OHSAA team wrestling state championship in record-breaking fashion. Edison’s 57-14 victory in the finals sets the record for most points in a finals match and largest margin of victory. The Chargers’ path to the finals included a 66-3 win over Shenandoah in the quarterfinals and a 56-15 win over Brookville in the semifinals. Edison’s previous team championship came in 2017.
 
Attendance was 4,015, an OHSAA Team Wrestling State Tournament record.
