Southern Door's Grant Englebert was the only Eagle to soar to the podium at the Lourdes Academy On The Water Classic over the weekend.
Englebert took sixth place at 160 pounds, forfeiting his final match of the weekend. He had two overtime matches to his name one that dropped him out of the championship rounds to Landon Thern of Hortonville but another that sprung him to the sixth consolation round. Englebert went 5-2 on the weekend.
FROM COACH JERRY ENGLEBERT
Friday and Saturday we competed in the 2019 Lourdes OTW Wrestling Classic at the Kolf Center in Oshkosh. This is the largest tournament in the state and one of the toughest. This year there were 67 teams represented. As usual all weight classes included returning state qualifiers, some state champions and many state ranked wrestlers.
Our goal going into this tournament was to get some experience for our younger wrestlers and challenge our more experienced wrestlers. We had hoped to have a couple more making it to the second day but overall satisfied with the effort and progress we've made this year.
Our top finisher was Grant Englebert taking sixth place at 160. Grant finished 12th last season. After a good start Grant lost a tough overtime match (against the eventual fourth place finisher) putting him on the consolation side of the bracket.
On day two Grant bounced back with a major decision then an overtime win against Josiah Streblow of Fond Du Lac to make the placing rounds. Streblow is a familiar opponent. Grant ran into Streblow twice last season at this tournament losing the first match in overtime then winning the second match. TJ Williams who helped coach at Southern Door three years ago is now one of the coaches at Fond Du Lac. Following this win Grant earned two nice wins over ranked wrestlers but suffered an injury that slowed him down. After losing his fourth match we decided to forfeit his final match in hopes of not aggravating his injury any further.
Next up for SD is the Rocket Scramble next Saturday at Cedar Grove. This is an important tournament as we should match up with a couple teams from our regional.
