The Sturgeon Bay / Sevastopol Wrestling team traveled to Two Rivers on Saturday to compete in the WIAA D2 Regional Tournament.  Due to COVID contract tracing, SBS only had six wrestlers eligible to compete in the tournament.  All of which were wrestling at Regionals for the first time.  The competition was fierce with five of the seven teams being ranked in the state and over 40 individually state-ranked wrestlers scattered throughout the brackets. 

Senior captain Ben DeNamur capped off his senior campaign with a fifth-place finish in the 132-pound bracket.  A workhorse in the wrestling and weight room, Ben ended the season with a 7-2 record, including going undefeated in conference matches.

Sophomore 285-pound wrestler Ben Roman placed fourth in his first appearance at Regionals.  Ben won his first-round match against Conor Sanford from Two Rivers before falling to the eventual Regional Champion in the semi-finals.  He ends the season with a 6-3 record, with all three losses coming against WIAA Sectional qualifiers.

Our coaching staff knew we would take some lumps on the day, but our kids were excited to finally be able to compete in a tournament.  With five of our six wrestlers being Freshman or Sophomores, we're excited about the building blocks we have for this team going forward.
