HOISINGTON — The Hoisington Cardinals earned five first-place finishes to capture Friday's Cardinal Corner Classic boys wrestling championship. The 3A Cardinals scored 170 points to edge 5A Great Bend (144).

Cardinals Evan Foltz (8-2, 138); No. 5 ranked Cole Steinert (5-0, 170); No. 1 ranked Joshua Ball (9-0, 182); Logan Philbern (6-1, 220); and Noah Deines (2-0, 285) captured first-place medals. 

In first-place matches, Foltz defeated Liberal's Tom McClure, 5-4; Steinert downed Great Bend's Gage Reimer 8-5; Ball defeated Liberal's Tony Rivero 5-0; Philbern pinned Larned's Carter Atteberry (3:52); and Deines pinned Larned's Konner Dill (0:51).

Earning runner-up finishes were No. 6 Josiah Ball (8-1, 113) and Quentin Boxberger (6-3, 145). Great Bend's No. 4 Avery Wolf downed Ball 9-0. Eureka's Brody Harrison pinned Boxberger (5:03). Nicolas Rubio (126) and Hunter Morris (160) placed third.

"It doesn't get any better than winning a tournament right before Christmas," said Hoisington coach Dan Schmidt. "What a great Christmas gift for our wrestling community.They did so with great effort from the whole squad. It was especially satisfying to win a tournament that had a ton of elite wrestlers. We filled 12 of the 14 weight classes. Our coaching staff could not have been prouder of our team."

Great Bend also earned first-place medals from No. 2 Kaden Spragis (9-1, 106); Wolf (11-0, 113) and Cooper Liles (10-1, 126). Spragis pinned teammate Emanuel Preito (2:51). Liles pinned Holcomb's Greg Martinez (1:54).

"Overall we performed well with the amount of kids that we competed with," said Great Bend coach Nathan Broeckelman. "We were missing two varsity boys in Skyler McMullen and Scott Heilman."

Placing runner-up were Panthers John Szot (8-3, 132); Gage Reimer (8-3, 170); and Keyven Schroeder (3-5, 195). Placing third were Robby Gutierrez (9-3, 120) and Austin Moore (6-7, 138).
