It took Keith Ransom 62 seconds to become a district champion. And the Mexico 126-pounder didn’t really need that much of the clock.
The top seed in his weight at Saturday’s Class 2 District 4 tournament at The Sports Complex in Mexico, Ransom received a bye into the title round. He quickly scored takedown points against Fulton’s Kaden Barnes, and then added more to go up 6-0. Only then did he turn his attention to pinning his opponent.

Keegan Koons and Gavyn Martin were undone in the first two matches of Mexico’s home quadrangular on Friday. Koons couldn’t escape Palmyra’s Kaden Crane and Martin contorted, but could not gain control over Collin Arch.
And when it came to the 138 pound match, Dylan Mosley wasn’t happy.
“I wasn’t ready and it showed,” he said.
Here’s the twist: he won.
“I should have had him pinned in the first minute,” Mosley explained.
Instead, Mosley worked a few seconds into the second before claiming a win by fall over Grayson Stevens, helping the Bulldogs to a 42-36 team win over Palmyra to open the quad. Mexico would go on to knock off Brookfield and Kirksville to sweep at home.

Keegan Koons opened and closed the dual, Dylan Mosley and Terrell Williams endured lengthy struggles and Mexico edged Moberly 40-39 at home on Tuesday night.
“I like how they work hard,” said head coach Gayle Adams, who was particularly impressed with his freshmen. “I’m proud of them.”
For a time it appeared as if the Bulldogs would grab an easy team win. Ricardo Juarez had one difficult moment in the 120 match, but worked out of it and quickly turned the tables on the Spartans’ Austin James.
