Senior Night is always special. For Helias wrestling coach Weston Keleher, Tuesday night’s Senior Night had a little something extra special. “This is a special group to me, they’ve been with me for four years,” Keleher said of the eight seniors who were honored between dual victories against Capital City and School of the Osage at Rackers Fieldhouse.
It was over before it even started. The Helias Crusaders won 10 matches by forfeit Thursday night on their way to a 78-6 wrestling dual victory against the Rock Bridge Bruins in Central Missouri Activities Conference action in the Helias Gym.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - Four local wrestlers represented Mid-Missouri in the MSHSAA Class 2 State Wrestling Championship finals on Thursday and two of them claimed championship titles.
Helias Jack Lage in the 120-pound weight class finished a perfect 34-0 season with a win over Ryker Smith from Cameron. Lage said he made a promise to his late grandfather that he would win it all.
After Jack Lage secured a perfect 34-0 season and a state championship at 120 pounds, he embraced his coaches and said, âI needed it for my grandpa.â He told me how much it meant to win the title for him.@KOMUsports@WrestlingHeliaspic.twitter.com/T7huljzGjJ Nate Brenner (@NateBrenner4) March 12, 2021
