This weight class was dominated by David Bertolino Buckeye Local all season long. Bertolino was a 160 pounder in a 125 pounders body. He was very fluent on his feet, and always on the attack. He capped off his undefeated season with a State Title! Luke Burkhardt Shadyside show what he was made of with his second place finish, while dealing with personal problems, What a great person! Tyler Schumacher Monroe Central finished his senior with a strong match and a 3rd place. Justin Myers Harrison Central a strong leg rider, showed that he will be one of the elite next year. Powerful Casey Rinehart Shenandoah, and Craig Blevins Union Local finished there careers with placement at the OVAC. I expect to see Kellen Hughes Indian Creek, and Isaac Stewart Cameron battle for placement next season. Over all I had the top 8 finisher in the top 9 of my rankings, Not bad!

Also in this weight class you had 7 State Qualifiers, and 4 of those were State Placers and 1 State Champion: Craig Blevins, Belmont Union Local; Tyler Schumacher, Woodsfield Monroe Central; David Bertolino, Rayland Buckeye Local; Isaac Stewart, Cameron; Garrett Railing, Oak Glen; Shawn Simmons, John Marshall; Jessie Mestrovic, Wheeling Park.
