COMAR WINS STATE in DRAMATIC FASHION!!!
Waquiem Comar won the 152 pound state championship in dramatic fashion with an 8-6 victory over defending state champion David Habat from St. Ignatius. This crowned a stellar career which started with Jack Turle and Jamie Hogue at the Twinsburg Rec. Wrestling Club, and ended with Dave Mariola at Twinsburg High School. Waquiem becomes Twinsburg's fifth state champ, and the first since 1998.
Also placing for the Tigers were Brandon Bucknell who made school history by being the first Twinsburg High Heavyweight to place. Brandon's name will go the the hallowed wall of Twinsburg State Placers in Twinsburg High School's Wrestling Room.
Chet Bissell made a repeat performance with a seventh place finish at states. This is Chet's second time placing. This year Chet battled a variety of injuries to place.
Falling just short of placing were sophomore Mike Labry who will be back two more years to make it on the podium. Sophomore Mike Baker who also has two more yearsw to make it to the podium. And lest we forget senior Matt Fechko whose athletic abilities and work wthic allowed him to qualify for the state tournament although he only wrestled three years!!!
