With only a little over a month before this year’s Class 4 District Wrestling Tournament, the Carthage Tigers finish the year off with a first place win at the Springdale Har-Ber Diamond State Duals. Carthage went 8-0 to take 1st place, with a tough second day facing teams from Seneca and Class 4 rival, Nixa. Carthage newcomer, Kale Schrader, was awarded the outstanding wrestler award for the tournament, pinning all seven of his opponents in the 1st period, while the team had 4 wrestlers (Dalen Moore, Brandon Crow, Kale Schrader, and Brener Ocana) go undefeated at the tournament. Dalen Moore moved his career wins to 151 this weekend to move into 4th place for most wins in Carthage history. This passed his coach, Nate Kelly’s, previous mark of 148 on Saturday and is only 5 wins away from surpassing another of his coaches, Clint Spencer, and moving into 3rd place behind Trevor Feagans and Toby Waters. “Anytime you break the top ten in career wins for a team like Carthage, you are in pretty esteemed company,” said Coach, Kenny Brown. “This wrestling program has a history of putting great kids on the mat, year after year. Not only am I pleased with Dalen’s hard work and progress, but also that of the entire team. At this point in the season, you hope to see your kids utilizing the things we’ve been working on in practice and seeing some success with it.”
Brown attributes much of the team’s success to preaching the fundamentals and having a great coaching staff and practice partners for his kids. “There is nothing as rewarding as seeing your wrestlers return to spar with and coach other wrestlers. My entire assistant coaching staff is made up of former Carthage Wrestlers, and it’s not uncommon to see other alumni at practice working out and teaching my current athletes. It’s really something special to be a part of and is a testament to the kind of young men that go through our program,” said Coach Brown.
With the new year upon us, Tiger Wrestlers dig in with tournaments at Excelsior Springs/Seneca, Labette County, Platte County and the COC and JV COC in Ozark and Republic. Dual competition for the coming weeks includes Bolivar, Webb City, and the next home dual versus McDonald County and Marshfield for Senior Night on January 24th. A home double dual with Seneca and Buffalo will round out the regular season before districts at Ray-Pec on February 8th and 9th,
