Brenden Baker is your 2016 Iowa/USA State
GRECO AND FREESTYLE STATE CHAMPION!
Brenden has been on fire ever since his third place finish at the state tournament. This weekend he continued his domination taking home both the Iowa/USA Wrestling Greco and Freestyle state titles in fine fashion! Greco on Saturday started the train rolling as Brenden recorded a fall and two tech falls in route to the title. Sunday was Freestyle and the train kept rolling. Brenden had a round 1 12-0 TF win vs. Griffith of Indee. He followed it up with a dominating win over North Linn state champion Brock Henderson with a 10-0 TF in round 2. Round 3 victim was Spencer Hutchinson of Valley by a fall in 1:52. Round 4 was probably one of the best matches of the day as he faced Bryce West. West came out on fire building up a 8-0 lead, but Brenden was far from done as he stormed back to take a 16-14 decision win. With all the momentum in his favor the finals match must have seemed like a walk in the park. McGwire Midkiff unfortunately was in the way of his title train losing by a fall in 2:34. Congratulations Brenden on a Great weekend!! |
Kyle Briggs is our second 2016 senior to sign and continue his academic and athletic dreams at the next level
Brenden Baker was our first wrestler to continue his education when he signed with Iowa State. Kyle Briggs became our second as he announced yesterday he will be continuing his education and wrestling at Wartburg. We would like to congratulate both our wrestlers! |
Brenden Baker takes Second Place at 2016 USA Junior Folkstyle Nationals!
Brenden had a very impressive tournament racking up two falls and an 8-2 decision on his way to the finals. In the finals match he was up against the #2 120# in the nation in Roman Bravo-Young from the Tucson Cyclones wrestling club in Arizona. It was a very good match and Brenden def. held his own losing a close match 1-3. I have to say, it was the best I have seen Brenden wrestle in well over a year. Congratulations Brenden on a job well done!! |
North / South All Star Meet Recap
SOUTH 31, NORTH 27 - Coach Briggs "coached" the south to a victory! 2 of our 3 J-Hawks came away with wins. Joseph Sibomana proved to some of those non-believers that his win against England of CRP at the state tournament was not a fluke by taking him down again 2-1. #3 3A Brenden Baker, flowing locks and all gave the crowd an exciting match vs. #3 2A Conner Cleveland from New Hampton winning 7-5. Kyle had a rematch vs. state champ Clingenpeel. Kyle lost 2-6 but was the more aggressive wrestler, and if a call or two would of went the other way we would of came home with a win here as well. It was an exciting event and we are proud to have had three of our seniors selected to represent the south.
113 – Joseph Sibomana (Cedar Rapids Jefferson, South) dec. Marcus England (Cedar Rapids Prairie, North), 2-1. 120 – Brenden Baker (Cedar Rapids Jefferson, South) dec. Connor Cleveland (New Hampton, North), 7-5. 152 – Colton Clingenpeel (Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson, North) dec. Kyle Briggs (Cedar Rapids Jefferson), 6-2.
We have posted some photos on our Flickr page that Wyatt Schultz of The Prediament took of our boys at the event. You can also see more in this months issue of the Predicament. There is a nice article of the event and some pretty cool photos from the nights action |
2016 State Tournament Recap....
Little late in coming, but it was a great week at the 2016 state tournament. Joseph Sibomana placed sixth at 113, Brenden Baker fought back in flying fashion from a round one loss to place third. That is 5 straight wins he accomplished to take third. It is no easy feat to do that. Kyle Briggs took home fifth place. Nick Dreckman did not place, but he won a match giving him State Qualifier status. Kyle Briggs also became Jefferson's first 4-time state qualifier. Brenden and Kyle also became Jefferson's third and fourth 3-time medalists in the history of our storied J-Hawk program joining Mel Wieland and Mark Ironside as the only other three time medalists. |

J-Hawks Dominate crosstown rival Washington
Thursday night we took on our crosstown rival the Warriors of Washington in single dual action, coming home with two sound victories. We had a couple very exciting matches, one at each level. JV started the night off with a dominating 63-6 win. Ethan Helgenberger in his first match back from injury fought hard but kind of ran out of steam in the end losing 5-6. We look for Ethan to be back to his full potential tomorrow at our JV Duals. Pagel, Pappas, Endsley, Hadish, Bolden and Owens came home with victories. Woods, Hurt,Lorimer, Primmer and H. Trinh had FF's. The varsity match of the night came midway through a 65-11 domination of the Warriors. Cody Clendenen had the match of the night for the varsity dual in a TB-1 10-12 loss. In both these matches, the entire gymnasium was rocking. You would of thought it was the state finals with the roar of the crowd and both teams jumping up and down cheering on their wrestler. It made for some exciting wrestling for a rivalry that has been happening since the late 1950's. It felt like the old days when this dual would be standing room only. Sibomana, D. Mastin, Viktora, Stewart, Bonner and C. Mastin had falls. Briggs recorded another TF winning 18-1 in 3:45. Rashed, Culver, Dreckman and Collins also had FF wins. |
J-Hawks put Three in Finals at J-Hawk Invite
For the first time this season when we did not finish in second place in a varsity tournament. It was a very tough day with some very tough competition and maybe some very questionable calls. It just did not seem to be our day. Baker Rashed and Dreckman finished in second. On a happy note Nick Dreckman earned his 100th win in his second match of the day. Congrats Nick! Kyle Briggs took home third, Matt Culver took 4th, Zach Main finished 5th and Colten Mastin, Cody Clendenen and Taylor Viktora took home 6th place finishes.. |
J-Hawks Take Down Saints in Home Dual
This night was also a special night for our own Coach Briggs.15 of 16 Coach Briggs' paid assistants throughout his tenure as our Jefferson head coach were there in attendance. Coach Briggs has served as our Head Wrestling coach for 33 years. During these 33 years he has had 16 assistant coaches. Jefferson Wrestling and Coach Briggs would like to thank these men for their contributions to the student athletes that they were privileged have mentored. Without their guidance, leadership, teamwork, and friendship the success of the Jefferson Wrestling program would not have been. Honestly is there a better feeling than when you have earned an athlete's and the communities respect to have them call you coach. Thank you Coaches!
Now, let's get back to the nights action. IT WAS A PIN FEST!!! 10 OF OUR 11 WRESTLERS WHO WON THEIR MATCH WON VIA A FALL. KYLE BRIGGS WAS OUR ONLY WRESTLER WHO DID NOT SCORE A PIN. ALTHOUGH HE DID DO THE NEXT BEST THING IN RECORDING A TF. The junior varsity started us off with a route of the Saints 72-6, this included a lot of forfeited matches on the Saints part. Pagel, T. Smith and Esparza had falls.
Varsity was up next and easily handled the Saints 53-27. We recorded 7 Falls and 1 TF on the evening. C. Mastin, Baker, Main, D. Mastin, Rashed, Culver and Dreckman all recorded pins. Kyle Briggs recorded a 27-9 TF.

The boys in blue shined last night at Linn-Mar!
Our J-hawks headed over to Linn-Mar last night for a double dual versus Iowa City West and host Linn-Mar. Both the JV and Varsity left no doubts that the boys in blue are ready for another good season. We started off the night with the trojans from Iowa City West, both JV and Varsity left no doubts that the almighty trojans are not that almighty anymore with JV winning 61-24 and varsity winning 44-26. Next up was the always tough Lions of Linn-Mar... Not on this night! JV won 39-26 and our varsity team dominated the Lions 56-21. A highlight of the night was our 113lb freshman sensation Colten Mastin. Last Saturday he takes first place in the Tipton JV tournament (first high school tournament of career) and follows it up last night with TWO varsity wins. The Mastin brothers are both going to be fun to watch these next few years and we expect to see both standing on the podium at state before their high school careers are done. Tomorrow the varsity heads to Des Moines for the Valley tournament, while JV travels to Marion and SE Polk for tournaments. Good luck to all. |

Final update from Staurday. Rob Martin took a group of JV to the Tipton tournament and brought home some nice results! Colten Mastin in his first high school tournament did not little his big brother take all the glory as he brought home a first place finish. Can Colten get down to 106?

Fernando Castillo, Coltin Endsley and Keegan Pappas took third. |
