Christopher Bryant swept the 182 weight class to remain unbeaten on the season and claim a sectional championship on Saturday in Palmyra. He will be joined in Independence for the state tournament on March 10 by Phasakorn Cunningham and Pedro Garduno.
“We had a good day,” said Missouri Military Academy head coach Tom Allen, who brought seven wrestlers to the Class 1 Section 1 tournament.
Bryant has been a handful for opponents all season, going 21-0. On Saturday he took down Riley Barnes of Hallsville by fall at 2:59. He then squared off against Artez May from Lift for Life Academy in a more demanding match.

Memorial Chapel steeple renovations completed Published by admin on Wed, 02/17/2021 - 2:20pm Missouri Military Academy maintenance staff makes final repairs on the Memorial Chapel steeple. [Submitted photo]
Work on Missouri Military Academy’s Memorial Chapel steeple was completed in the fall 2020 semester as part of the restoration of the historic building. The Memorial Chapel has been a treasured part of MMA’s history and traditions since 1961.
A generous $19,000 grant from Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation, a private foundation that is focused on improving the quality of life in Missouri, funded the steeple restoration project. After a half-century of use, the effects of time and weather had taken a toll on the chapel, creating the need for renovating and restoring the important center of cadet life activity.
