A few final state
wrestling tourney notes
By LEE LARSON
Sports Director
Tuesday, March 9
A few notes after an exciting four days at Xcel
Energy Center.
Cooper Moore's 160-pound at
the state Class 1A tournament made him the 18th wrestler from
Jackson County to win a
state title for a total of 28
state titles.
Earlier, Bronson Steuber won the 125-pound
title, his second championship. He's the eighth wrestler from the
county to win multiple titles.
Chad Kraft and Nate Baker were three-time state
champions.
Steuber joins Tim Jansma, Marc Harwood, Cole Von Ohlen, Torey Stewart and Travis Rutt
as two-time state champions
Moore puts his name on a list of one-time state
champs, joining Scott Vancura, Chad Gage, Nate Hanson, Bryce Vancura, Dusty
Wilking, Steve Majerus, Tom Nesseth, Jared Knips and Caleb Lines.
Randy Baker has coached each of those wrestlers
in a career that started in Lakefield in 1985.
His 28 state champions is the most in state
history for a coach not from Apple Valley. Jim Jackson of
Apple Valley had seven wrestlers win state titles last Saturday for
a total of 49.
JCC's six place winners gives Baker a total of
67, tying Jim Short of Simley for fifth on the all-time list. Valley
had nine, giving Jim
Jackson 109.

Boys basketball correction
While the wrestlers were winning a state title
Saturday night in Saint Paul, the JCC boys basketball team was
making a little history of its own in Jackson when the Huskies beat
Fairmont in
the opening round of the
Section 3AA South Sub-Section tournament.
It was originally reported that it was the
first win postseason win ever for Jackson County Central.
But we did get a call Tuesday pointing out that
the 2000 Huskies picked up a first-round section tournament game over
Tracy-Milroy by a 63-59 margin.
That team would lose in the next round to BDRSH
to finish with a 14-8 record. That 14 wins is the most for a JCC
team.
Members of that team were Brad Bosacker, John
Fretham, Derek Frodermann, Ben Hansen, Travis Harmening, John
Hohenstein, Jason Larsen, Ryan Ollerich, Chris Perkins, Mitch Rowe,
Matt Schultz, Brad Vrchota, Scott Williams, Ricky Ybarra and Jack
Zelinko. Mark Kocak was the head coach, with Tom Schuller serving as
assistant.
