STATE WRESTLING DAY TWO RECAP
By Chris Colucci
COLUMBUS OH- Tyson Seesholtz, the powerhouse wrestler from Division 3 in the 150 lb weight class, is having a tournament to remember. With a record of 38-2 going into the finals, Tyson was poised for greatness, but he had to face adversity on the mat to get there. In the semi-finals, Tyson faced Brodie Martin from Amanda-Clearcreek with a record of 44-0, an undefeated wrestler. The match was an actual test of willpower and skill. It was a nail-biter, with the score tied after regulation. In overtime, with everything on the line, Tyson executed a flawless takedown, sealing the win and sending him to the finals.
Tyson’s dad and coach, JT Seesholtz, was visibly emotional after the match. He couldn’t have been prouder of Tyson’s determination and growth as a wrestler. He knows the sacrifices he’s made to get to this point, and seeing him achieve this level of success was an emotional moment for the entire team. Tyson will now face Caleb Greenwood from Beechwood in the finals, and all eyes will be on this young star as he aims for a state title.
An All-YSN Matchup at 190 lbs: Gabe Miller vs. Brydon Feister
In Division 2, the 190 lb weight class promises to deliver one of the most exciting matchups of the tournament: an all-YSN showdown between Gabe Miller from Canfield and Brydon Feister from Hoban. These two athletes are no strangers to each other, having met last week in the district finals. In that intense overtime battle, Gabe Miller emerged victorious with a clutch finish, taking the win in a dramatic extra period.
Both wrestlers entered the semi-finals with high expectations, and they delivered in style. Brydon Feister, the talented freshman from Hoban, won his semi-final match in overtime with a pin over Lincoln Shewlaw from Columbus DeSales, proving he’s not just here to compete but to win. Meanwhile, Gabe Miller, the sophomore from Canfield, continued his impressive run with a dominant 9-3 win over Presley Stewert from Eaton.
Now, these two young wrestlers are set for a highly anticipated rematch in the finals, with everything on the line. The rivalry between Miller and Feister is heating up, and this battle could very well be the highlight of the Division 2 tournament.
Brayton Feister: Tech Fall Victory Sets Up Finals Clash
Brayton Feister, the older brother of Brydon Feister, is also making a name for himself at the OHSSA Wrestling Tournament. Competing in the 215 lb weight class in Division 2, the sophomore from Hoban showed his dominance in the semi-finals. Feister faced off against Jaxon Butcher from Indian Valley, and the match was a one-sided affair. Feister’s superior technique and relentless drive led him to a commanding tech fall victory as the second period came to a close.
With the win, Feister has earned a spot in the finals, where he will wrestle Michael Boyle from Waterson. Feister’s performance in the tournament so far has been nothing short of impressive, and he’ll be looking to cap off his journey with a state title.
