ELLIS – Hoisington's No. 1 state-ranked Joshua Ball (182) and No. 6 ranked Josiah Ball (113) earned first-place medals at the Ellis Round Robin Wrestling Tournament.
Josiah Ball pinned Beloit's Ayden Loomis (2:40) in the championship match. Joshua Ball defeated Beloit's No. 2 ranked Brennan Walker 7-5 in a classic championship match.
Runner-up Logan Philbern (220) was pinned (3:46) by Beloit's Cameron Konkel. Third-place finisher Evan Foltz (138) pinned Hillsboro's Garret Helmer (1:23). Eastin Redetzke (120) defeated Stockton's Markeis Spiller on an injury default.
Cardinals Deryk Yott (132) and Quentin Boxberger (145) placed fourth.
The Cardinals competed without several solid wrestlers who will return Friday at the Corner Classic.
"I was pleased as many wrestlers had a handful of practices due to playing in the state football championship game," said Hoisington coach Dan Schmidt. "Every Cardinal posted wins on the night. No doubt by the end of the year we could become a good team. We hope to prove we're better than eighth in our state ranking."
