CASSTOWN – Covington finished second as a team in the TRC, but led the league with the most individual champions in weight classes.

The individual champions for the Buccs were freshman Brody Taylor (106 pounds), freshman Isaiah Mumford (126 pounds), junior Caleb Ryman (150 pounds), senior Aveyen Meek (165 pounds) and sophomore Trenton Havenar (215 pounds).

Brody Taylor finished 2-0 with two pins in the 106 pound weight class, while Isaiah Mumford finished 2-1 in the 126 pound weight class, but won his weight class due to the overall criteria as two other wrestlers in his weight also finished 2-1.

Caleb Ryman finished 3-0 with three pins at 150 pounds, while Aveyen Meek finished 3-0 with two pins and a 22-10 major decision at 165 pounds. Plus, Trenton Havenar finished 2-0 at 215 pounds with a 41 second pin and a 4-1 victory over a wrestler who had defeated him earlier in the year.

Three Buccaneers finished second in their weight classes; Eddie Deaton (113 pounds), Henry Skaggs (120 pounds) and Liam Geeding (144 pounds).

Kaden Thompson finished third at 175 pounds, while Jack Blumenstock (157 pounds) and Jonny Miller (132 pounds) finished fourth.

In the team results, Miami East finished first with 205 points, Covington second with 191.5 points, Bethel third with 158.5 points, Milton-Union fourth with 147.5 points, Northridge fifth with 49.5 points, Troy Christian sixth with 28.5 points, and Lehman seventh with 26 points.
