Top-seeded Conrad Wyre
gave De LaSalle their first individual state championship of the evening with a 6-2 decision over
third-seeded Matthew Webre of Ouachita
Christian. |
De LaSalle's Wyre, a runner-up in 2016, had an excellent senior year. With
a record of 40-2, he placed third in the Cashio-Shriever (with a loss to
Jesuit's Nathan Koenig, which Wyre would avenge in the Louisiana Classic
semifinals), won the Trygg Memorial, the Brusly Invitational, the Ken Cole, the
GNO Division III District and placed 2nd at the Louisiana Classic to Jake Rando
of Holy Cross.
More importantly, however, was that Wyre defeated the first through fifth seeds
handily during the regular season. Other notables that he defeated
were Koenig, avenged at the LA Classic from the Cashio-Shriever, Parkway's
Dalton Driggers, Shaw's Eduardo Garcia, and Seth Alfonso and Fernando Diaz from
Brother Martin.
Seeding Jacob Pelle of Crescent City second and Matthew Webre third is not terribly important, but it does
beg the question "why?" Webre had first-place awards from the Wildcat and
the Eagle Opens. He placed third at the Ken Cole at 152 lbs., while Pelle
did not place at 160 lbs. The semifinal mat, however, made any argument
mute as Webre scored an 8-3 victory to meet Wyre in the finals.
