MATER
DEI WRESTLERS BACK ON TOP
After two
years of falling short at the team state finals, top-ranked Evansville Mater
Dei returned to the pinnacle of
The
Wildcats (24-0) defeated second-ranked Perry Meridian in the first round,
25-23, and fourth-ranked Mishawaka in the semifinals, 31-25, in a pair of
battles that went down to the wire.
It was the
11th overall state championship for Mater Dei, all of which have
come under the guidance of Mike Goebel. With the title, Goebel became the
coaching leader in terms of most state titles in state history. He previously
held the mark with Harold F. Mumby of
With the
championship round beginning with the 130 class, Mater Dei trailed 12-10 after
the first six matches, but 171-pound senior Jeremy Goebel opened the floodgates
with a 17-6 major decision that put his team in front 14-12. The Wildcats
reeled off four straight and seven of the final eight matches. In the 189 pound
match, sophomore Jacob Schneider and Sam Rich were knotted 1-1 going into the
last minute before Schneider got a takedown and pinned his opponent with less
than 30 seconds remaining. That result put Mater Dei in control of the match
and they never looked back.
For Bellmont (25-2), it was their fourth state runner-up finish
overall and their second since the team tournament came into existence in 1996.
Both times, the Braves fell to Mater Dei (1999). Brent Faurote
is the Bellmont coach.
