Mandeville Open Pink Panther Invitational Acadiana Invitational Riot on the Red South Walton Border Wars* Black Horse* Catholic Duals* Cliff Keen (NCAA)*

*  Some information on these events may be found below.

We have wrestlers competing all over the place: on the Northshore, in Baton Rouge, Brusly, Lafayette, Rayne, Bossier City, Germantown, TN, Santa Rosa Beach, FL and, if one jumps to the NCAA level, in Las Vegas, NV.  I prepared my weekend recap on Friday night so I can just fill in the results as I get them.  I will try to have all of the blanks filled come Sunday evening.  It would help immensely if readers could provide me with outstanding wrestler award winners, and send some pictures my way and I will try to use them.

FYI - FloWrestling brackets and information does not hold a candle to the "classic" TrackWrestling.  I have yet to find a way to print usable or readable brackets, and that is going to really hurt as I try to maintain the Archives.

South Walton Border Wars

St. Paul leads the 13th edition of the South Walton Border Wars by seven points over Middleburg, FL.  Jesuit's first string is tied for third and the Jesuit B team is ninth.

Winning their Day One round-robin pools were:

Weight Wrestler School
106 Jameson Richie St. Paul
106 Matty Bennett Jesuit B
113 Connor Ayala St. Paul
113 Shane Roddy Jesuit
132 Max Belsome Jesuit

After 132 lbs. either a Louisiana kid did not win their pool or the pool matches were not completed by the time wrestling ended.  Those matches are usually held early on Saturday morning.

Catholic Duals

For these duals to mean anything more than just getting some mat time, East Ascension needs to beat Hoover, AL and St. Amant in the Round-Robin Pool A.  Catholic should win Round-Robin Pool B relatively easily.  Hoover is an unknown quantity.  St. Amant is not.  The Gators won the Spartan Classic by five points over the Spartans, but as is often the case, tournament results mean next to nothing re dual meet results.  When the Spartans and Gators meet, the Spartans should be favored at 106, 113, 138, 150, 165 and 285.  The Gators should be favored at 120, 157 and 175.  The 126 lbs. weight class leans toward the Gators, as might 144 lbs.  If Kent Pearson competes, then 190 lbs. goes to the Gators, leaving just 215 lbs. up for grabs.  To their detriment, the Spartans do not have a 132 lbs. entrant, but they do have two 126 lbs. entrants, so one of those two should bump up a weight.  This should be a very fun match to watch, even just via the cartoon-like figures on TW.

I do not like doing it, but I will be pulling for the Spartans.  Should they win, we should see the first of possibly many matches between Catholic's two-time defending Division I state champion Kristian Scott and EA's defending Division I state champion Braylon Stewart.  If I recall things correctly (which is always suspect) that match will be a battle of a supreme technician (Scott) vs. plain raw athleticism (Stewart).

Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational

There was definitely a taste of Louisiana at the 2025 Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.  But it was a bad taste for wrestlers from California (three), New Jersey, West Virginia, Connecticut, Maryland, Illinois and Oklahoma.

Evan Frost, seeded first ranked #3 in the FloWrestling NCAA Division I rankings, beat a Cal Poly kid 6-0, followed that with a 6-1 over a Princeton Tiger and then scored an 11-2 major decision over a West Virginia opponent.

Jacob Frost, seeded third and ranked #4 in the FloWrestling NCAA Division I rankings, teched a Sacred Heart (Connecticut) kid 15-0 in less than two minutes, followed that with a 9-1 major decision over a Navy opponent and then dispatched the #6 seed from Stanford 4-3.

Spencer Lanosga, seeded third and ranked #10 in the FloWrestling NCAA Division I rankings, defeated an opponent from Northwester 8-3, then teched a Stanford kid 19-2 and pulled out a gutsy 7-2 win over the sixth seed from Oklahoma.

Weight Wrestler College During Saturday
133 Evan Frost Iowa State Champiom
149 Jacob Frost Iowa State 4th Place
285 Spencer Lanosga Navy 5th Place

California Baptist College is in the tournament but Richie Clementi is not their 141 lbs. entrant.  I shall not mention why as I do not know what college spies might read my articles.  I will venture it is an act of mercy on Clementi's part, because if he was competing, that might make the event way too spicy for the rest of the nation's palate.
