2018-2019 Season Recap & Record Board
The 2019 season saw unprecedented success for the Blue Valley Southwest Wrestling Program. As the program has continued to progress since the school opened in 2010, and has had monumental achievements, getting a team trophy has been elusive for the Timberwolves. However, we were finally able to climb into the Top 3 at the Kansas State Wrestling Championships for this season. As is the case each year, every point counted, both individually in each match, as well as the team points from each outcome.
Starting off, and as they’ve done most of the season, our lighter weights continued to move throughout the frontside of the bracket with some impressive wins. Freshmen Hayden Mills and Brett Umentum both made the finals at 106 and 113, respectively, and Mills was able to come away with a State Championship while Umentum fought hard for a Runner-Up finish. Two of our senior leaders at 120 and 126, Wyatt Driskell and Joseph Dennison, continued to lead the way in accumulating some significant wins. These efforts were good enough for Dennison to get a 5th place finish and end his career as a 3-time state placer. Rounding out the lighter weights was junior Daniel McMullen with a huge come from behind win at the end of the 3rd period in an important match. Similar to his sophomore season, McMullen proved to be a gamer at the State Championships as he got his second state placer medal with a 6th place finish.
Moving into the middle weights, junior Brandon Madden got his third state medal, but this time it was for 1st place as he achieved his first State Championship. He’s on pace to become the Timberwolves first 4-time state placer. Senior Jacob Boone, continued to show his always 100% effort by getting some very important wins at 145 for the Timberwolves. At 160, and after a breakthrough performance at the Regional tournament a week earlier, junior Jackson McCall didn’t let up. He fought through some tough matches and was able to achieve his first state medal with a 4th place finish.
Moving to the upper weights, and continuing the Timberwolf momentum which proved to be so instrumental for us throughout the season, junior Seth Nitzel fought hard through the bracket to make it to the Finals and a Runner-Up finish. This was his first state medal as well. Rounding out our State Championship lineup was relative newcomer to our Varsity lineup, sophomore Awni Alazzeh, who had some very inspirational wins at the Regional tournament to become a State Qualifier, but came up short in getting a state medal.
Again, the 2019 season was an unprecedented one for the program. Our 3rd place trophy was achieved through the efforts of not just the many wrestlers who have been a part of the program since its inception, but also the coaches, parents, and the BVSW fans who have supported us so much over the years. The points scored at the state tournament were the result of countless hours put in at practice; in the evening with our kids’ program; on the weekends in gymnasiums throughout the Midwest; and throughout the off-season by all the members of the Blue Valley Southwest Wrestling Program. We’re determined to capitalize on this success in the seasons to come, so keep checking our website and social media for future accomplishments.
