We're live and Owens-wide

Bloggin’ on site today at the Owens Community College Division III district thanks to a Wi-Fi connection courtesy of the Owens Math and Science hookup.
Looks like a fight to the finish today for the title. Delta leads Sandusky St. Mary’s 54½-49½ heading into today’s semifinal round. Elmwood and Mohawk are next at 39 ½ and 38 ½ points respectively but with all due respect to my friends that are Royals and Warriors, they won’t be a factor in the team race.
Since I have a connection here and some time, I will try and provide some updates
Here’s a quick note book in the action yesterday and today…

OUTTA HERE: Tinora’s Jacob Varner, a returning state qualifier went two and out last night at 112 pounds. He dropped 12-4 decision to Monroeville’s Lance Johnson in the first round and was eliminated by Mohawk’s Steve Curlis 4-2 in OT. Curlis came into the sectional tournament with a 10-14 record.

MEGA MATCHUP: One of the biggest matchups in the semifinals will be at 112 pounds. Sandusky St. Mary’s two-time state placer Troy Opfer takes a 58-0 record into his match with 41-0 Patrick Henry Alex Lopez. Should be a fun one to watch, both can make the podium next weekend at the Schottenstein Center.

MONKEY OFF HIS BACK: After a couple of close losses to Arcadia returning state qualifier Mason True, Elmwood junior Mitchell Lee got the monkey off his back by beating True 10-3 in Friday night’s quarterfinal round. True, a returning district runner-up will have a tough road to get back to Columbus as he will likely face either Western Reserve’s Eric Reer or Tiffin Calvert’s Kyle Kwiat in the consolation semifinals.

CONFERENCE CALL: Three conference each have three teams among the top 10 teams after the first day of district action. The Northwest Ohio Athletic League has Delta (1st), Liberty Center (6th) and Archbold (8th) in the top 10. The Suburban Lakes League’s Elmwood (3rd), Otsego (5th) and Genoa (8th) are in the top 10. The Midland Athletic League’s Mohawk (4th), Tiffin Calvert (7th) and Seneca East (10th) are also among the team leaders.
