Tommy Zeigler (126 Pounds) Takes 3rd While Anthony McLaughlin Takes 6th (170 Pounds)
What an emotional weekend it is for senior Tommy Zeigler, as he takes the mats for the final time as a Saint Ignatius wrestler. Zeigler finishes as a three-time state placer, as he finishes 3rd in Columbus in his weight class. Saturday morning, Zeigler edged Chance Driscoll (St. Edward), 1-0, to advance to the third-place match. Jarrad Lasko (Madison) wrestled Zeigler for third place, and Tom would end his career on the right foot. He fought past Lasko, 3-2.
Although junior Anthony McLaughlin fell in the fifth place match to Matthew Walker (Hilliard Darby), McLaughlin finished sixth. As a junior, Anthony has next year to look forward to, as he will most likely be the leader for Mark Sullivan’s Wildcats.
Jim Ferritto defeated Alec Logsdon (Lebanon) on Thursday night, 6-4, after falling in his preliminary.
Congrats to all of the Wildcat wrestlers who represented Saint Ignatius High School well this weekend!
