All 13 wrestlers that Flagler Palm Coast entered at the Five Star Conference championships advanced to the finals, and seven claimed individual titles as the Bulldogs won their third straight conference wrestling championship on Saturday, Feb. 7, at FPC’s Anderson Athletic Center.
The Bulldogs won by nearly 100 points, defeating second-place New Smyrna Beach 244.5 to 149.0. DeLand (87) was third, followed by University (67) and Seabreeze (63). Mainland finished eighth with 34.5 points.
Seabreeze and Mainland each had one champion.
The Bulldogs also held a Senior Day ceremony before the finals, honoring seniors Michael Fries, Doyvonne Leadon and Aidan Korth.
Two FPC freshmen won their first conference titles. Jacob Hald won the 106-pound championship with a dramatic 13-12 decision over Deltona’s Javonni Carraturo. After Carraturo racked up eight third-period points on an escape, a takedown and a near fall to take a 12-11 lead, Hald scored on a reversal with 14 second remaining to collect his 30th victory in 34 matches.
Freshman JoJo Foalima won the 165-pound title with a pin of NSB’s Logan Dailey at 3:42. FPC’s other champs were Braden Dailey at 113, Kevin McLean at 120, Trey Twilley at 132, Gabriel Moy at 144 and Ronden Ricks at 157.
Mainland’s Isaac Strozier won the 175-pound title with a pin of FPC’s Leadon at 3:33. Seabreeze’s Zane DePaula won the 215-pound title with a pin of FPC’s Brian Veal in 1:58.
With the postseason fast approaching, beginning with district tournaments on Feb. 19, FPC coach David Bossardet said the Bulldogs have work to do.
“I think we dropped some matches that we let get away from us,” he said. “With the district tournament 10 days away we got to wrestle a lot better than we did today. We just didn’t look sharp. We weren’t finishing our attacks in particular, and that concerns me. We want to be wrestling our best at district, region and state, and I don’t think we showed that today, so we got to go back, make some adjustments and do a better job coaching.”
FPC’s runners-up included Leadon, Veal, Asher Struhar at 126, Lenny Fries at 138, Michael Fries at 150 and Korth at 285 pounds.
Seabreeze’s Cash Kurz was the runner-up at 157 pounds. Christian Vicole of Mainland (113) pounds) and Jayce Gainer of Seabreeze (165) placed third. Seabreeze’s Kaleb Locke (132) and Gavin Getz (175) placed fourth.
