The Voinovich’s like every other Ohio wrestler will start the post season today, Sectionals this week, Top 4 advance to districts, top 4 advance to state.
Kael is the 3 seed @ 145
Victor is the 1 @ 152
Kael being 3rd seed is strictly due to a mathematical algorithm. If it was by merit, he would have been #1 seed, or maybe #2, since he was in a bracket with another top 145 guy, who got the #1 seed based on undefeated record.
2 weekends ago, Kael beat 3 top-9 ranked Ohio 145 D1 (big school division) in the same day.
He beat:
#5 Landen Hacker (Wadsworth)
#7 Darnai Heard (Cincinnati LaSalle)
#9 Tommy West (St Eds)
-and honestly, I dont remember him giving up a takedown. The only offensive points score on Kael was on a reversal with backs to Heard.
Today:
Kael won 1st two matches by ~1 minute pins
Then won 10-3 in Semifinal
In the finals he beat James Scavuzzo 3-0 (Jr, Medina Highland, #6 in Ohio D1, 26-0 prior to this match).
Scoreless 1st period.
Kael got a ride out in the 2nd.
In the 3rd, Kael got the escape in ~ 30-45 seconds, then got a late takedown on a go behind to seal the victory.
Victor wrestled later (Covid restrictions on # in gym at once, I think).
Bye- pin- pin.
Finals in a few minutes.
Honestly, he doesnt have much competition this year at 152 D1 Ohio.
Edit: Victor was his sectional final by tech fall.
