Pair of Jayhawks earn medals at ACHS

GARNETT -- Two Jayhawks earned medals as Jayhawk-Linn's wretling team took part in the Anderson County Tournament here Saturday.

Caleb Jackson, 7-2 this season, earned second place at 285 pounds as he went 2-1 in the day. He was pinned by Ottawa's Sam Blecha in the finals.

Briar Snyder, 5-5, wrestling at 160, went 2-2 on the day and earned fourth place. He was pinned by Cherryvale's Robert Lane in the third-place match.

Results of other matches were not available.

Other Jayhawk wrestlers were Mason Craig, 0-4 at 112; David Troth, 0-5 at 135; Jared Avery, 1-2 at 140; Tyson Baker, 0-2 at 145; Quincy Hodges, 0-2 at 152; and Eli Walrod, 2-2 at 215.

The Jayhawks placed ninth out of the 10 teams present with 32 points. Caney Valley was the tournament champion with 181 points followed by host Anderson County with 156 1/2 and Osawatomie with 153.

The Jayhawks were scheduled to travel to Wellsville tonight to take on the host Eagles and Anderson County in a triangular. The Jayhawk-Linn school district did not hold classes today, so it is not likely the Jayhawks were able to attend.

The varsity team isn't scheduled to wrestle again until Jan. 5 but the JV will be in a tournament at Wellsville that is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday
