MILLERSBURG — Winning has become a habit the Ashland wrestling team has no intention of kicking.
On Saturday at West Holmes High School, the Arrows claimed the Ohio Cardinal Conference wrestling championship for the fifth time in six years. Coach Sean Seder was rewarded with an Ohio Cardinal Conference Coach of the Year award, as voted on by the league’s coaches, in recognition of his dynasty.
Last year West Holmes ended Ashland’s four-year stranglehold on the title, a mere blip on the screen that was corrected this season.
The Arrows racked up 351.5 points, followed by host West Holmes at 246 and third-place Madison at 137. Mount Vernon was fourth at 133, followed by Wooster (104.5), Mansfield Senior (71.5), and Lexington (21).
Wooster standout Joey Lyons was selected the OCC Wrestler of the Year after his performance at 195 pounds.
Ashland was led by eight individual champions, including a a pair of four-time titlists. Jayden Jones claimed the crown at 145 pounds, while Jakob Beverly was tops at 220. It was the fourth championship for each.
Other weight class titlists for the Arrows included Joe Manges (126), Chase Dillo (152), John Metzger (160), Angelo Seitz (170), Brady Welch (182), and Jake Bever (285).
