Congratulations to our Senior Class of 2014!!
Josh Allen, Michael Moncivais, William Orr, PJ Rashed, Cierra Maas, Emily Walton and Cole Speth!
We will miss you all! |
The freestyle season started at the Mick Pickford tournament on Saturday. Four J-Hawks made the trek to Ft Madison. They were Brenden Baker, Kyle Briggs, Jake Hensel, and Tavian Rashed. The wrestlers are grouped by weight so you never know where you will fall in your particular grouping - weight wise.
It's always interesting to see how much weight wrestlers (from every school) have gained since the season and where they will fall in the groupings. This makes for interesting and different match ups from the regular season. An example would be that one of Brenden's opponents was about a foot taller than him. Brenden wrestled well but went 2-2 and finished with a 3rd place medal.
Our super freshman Tavian lost a hard fought battle with a very defensive wrestler finishing 3-1 on the day, taking home the silver medal.
In Kyle's last match the official was evidently using international rules (or lack of) and letting the wrestlers pound each other's heads as both wrestlers walked away bleeding from heavy hands to the face. Fortunately, bleeding is nothing new to Kyle and he had is hand raised. Kyle finished 4-0 on the day and a gold medal.
Impressive was that win or lose the guys tried different techniques than they used during the regular season which will help them to develop even more offense next season. Keep up the good work. |
Baker takes 3rd and Briggs takes 7th
at 2014 State Tournament.
Both of our boys wrestled great smart matches and took it to their opponents! Congrats to our entire team. This was a TERRIFIC Season and we know that things will only get better. We have a bunch of boys and coaches that know this was not where we wanted to finish. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a great season.
Our J-Hawks also finished in 7th place at the State Dual Team Tournament. WHAT A YEAR!!! |

J-Hawks Are 2014 State Dual Team Qualifiers
Boy was last night FUN! Our boys headed over to North Scott for a showdown vs. the Lansers for the chance to go to the state dual championships. As has been the case for the whole season, the boys were fyling high coming home with a 41-29 win. Joseph Sibomana started off the night with a HUGE upset win. North Scott thought by having their ranked 106 lber move up a weight to avoid our Brenden Baker they would come away with a win. Joseph had other ideas when he showed NS that this is a TEAM full of talent. Joseph dec. Schipper 11-7! Kyle Briggs got back on the winning track with a nice pin. Matt Culver had a 11-3 major decision, Michael Moncivais moved up a weight and had a HUGE pin. Tavian Rashed scored another major decision for the boys in blue. Kelly May and Luke Sedlacek both recorded falls. Brenden Baker left no doubt who was the better team pinning his opponent in the first period locking up the dual and giving our J-Hawks their first State Dual Team appearance since 1994!
Saturday we host districts so come out and cheer on your 2014 State Dual Team Qualifiers! |

J-HAWKS TAKE SECOND PLACE AT 2014 MVC SUPER MEET!
Our boys in blue showed the rest of the conference and state that the J-Hawks ARE BACK!
Brenden Baker and Josh Allen both are 2014 MVC CHAMPS. Baker eased his way through his bracket in route to the 106 lb championship. Josh Allen at 182 turned some heads defeating higher ranked wrestlers and avenging earlier season loses in route to his title. But it took a team effort to bring home a second place finish. We had 6 finalists and 13 wrestlers finish in the Top 7. It was a great team effort. Sibomana took 5th, Briggs took 4th, M.Moncivais placed 5th, Matt Culver also finished 5th. Another of our freshmen sensations Tavian Rashed is making some big noise this year making it to the finals but eventually coming up just short taking 2nd place. Kelly May and Luke Sedlacek continued their winning ways also coming in 2nd. Nick Dreckman took 6th as did Erik Hovey. William Orr fought hard all day coming in 7th and Dalton Kuehl wrestled tough all day on his way to the finals but just came up short of a MVC title coming in 2nd. |
Thursday night saw our J-hawks hosting dub. Senior and crosstown for CR Prairie. first off we want to thank the student body, family and friends for PACKING the gym for this night. It has been a long time since we have had the gym full of fans like it was that night. Varsity warmed up the night against Dubuque Senior making easy work of the Rams 65-15. JV also had a easy time winning 58-12.
Then came the dual that everyone came to witness and boy did they get their moneys worth! The boys fought hard all night long with came up just shy of a victory losing 25-35. A match won here or there, or a more dominant win by a wrestler or two and we would of upset the hawks. |
| It looks like I got a bit behind in posting results, so here we go... Our J-Hawks finished 5th Saturday as we hosted the Hegarty JV Duals going 3-2 on the day. We had a couple tough loses to a couople powerhouse teams but the boys showed heart and kept fighting all day long. As a whole we were very pleased with how the boys wrestled. Being young we still have a lot to work on in the room before the MVC Soph and JV tournament. |

The J-Hawk varsity dug out the 1970’s throwback uniforms Thursday night to honor Hall of Fame coach Bill McNiel. Then they kept their dual meet record unblemished by beating the crosstown Kennedy Cougars 66-12. The boys-in-blue collected pins from Kelly May, Nick Dreckman, Dalton Kuehl and Will Orr, a technical fall from Tavian Rashed, and a major decision from Luke Sedlacek. Between duals a special recognition paid tribute to McNiel, who led the J-Hawks to state wrestling titles in 1973 and 1974."It was great. Amazing there were that many people that were here," said McNiel. "It made it special," said Kelly May. "I'm sure it was a lot of fun for him to come back and see us and wearing the uniforms that he used to coach." "It was very special tonight," said Coach Briggs, who wrestled for McNiel on his two state championship teams. "Neat to see all of the people who thought so much of Bill, and not only from our J-Hawk community. People came from all over."

Good luck J-Hawks! |
| After what seemed like forever, we were finally back in action Saturday as our varsity team traveled to Pleasant Valley for the Mike Hall Invitational. 3" of snow and down right cold conditions in PV did not keep Brenden Baker from continuing his quest for a state title as he notched another first place finish with a 3-0 victory in the finals over Dack Punke of Washington. Freshman Tavian Rashed continues to impress also making the finals. Tavian came about 2 seconds from taking down Millard Souths Alex Mendez losing 7-6. With time ticking away Tavian continued to press the action just coming up a second late on a match winning takedown. As a team we finished in 6th place. As a whole we wrestled pretty good, but we know we still have a lot to improve on. Josh Allen wrestled tough bringing home a very nice 3rd place finish. Kyle Briggs took 4th, PJ Rashed and Luke Sedlacek both took 5th with Kelly May taking 6th place. |
