State Tournament Information
We had great performances by our guys at the very tough Pratt Regional, with two wrestlers qualifying for state and five others coming within a single victory from qualifying.  With five of the top ten ranked teams, this was clearly the toughest regional in the state.  Congratulations to Jake Gehring (3rd @112) and Austin Ortiz (4th @ 145), and good luck to them next weekend at the state championships!

Our season got off to a solid start as the varsity traveled to the Dual Tournament in
El Dorado, where we finished second in our pool after suffering a one point 37-36
loss to Augusta.  We ended up third overall after we defeated Rose Hill, the 2nd
place finisher in the other pool, in a 39-33 decision.  The match was tied at 33-33
going into the heavyweight match, when junior Bryce Worley, making his first varsity
start, secured the win for the Crusaders by pinning his opponent!

Our first league dual found us facing the El Dorado Wildcats, who were coming off of
a first place finish in their Dual Tournament.  Once again, our boys battled to a tight
finish, but unfortunately came up just a little short in a 34-30 loss.

Next we traveled to Wellington to compete in our second tournament of the season, and
our only combined Varsity/JV tournament, where several of our wrestlers had success on
the mat.  In the varsity tournament, freshman Kyle Miller won his first high school
tournament,  placing first at 119.  Joining Kyle on the medal stand were six teammates;
since we were open at four weights, this represented the bulk of our squad.
Overall, Buhler finished 6th out of 13 teams.

On December 17 we went to Andale to compete in our only non-league dual.
We were in complete control of the first dual, which we won 60-9
against the new team from Maize South.  The second dual was another story,
as we fell 54-21 to the #1 ranked Andale Indians.

I our first competition after the holiday break, we avenged an earlier loss with a 39-34 victory over Augusta.  At the El Dorado Team Dual tournament on December 5, in our first dual of the season, we suffered a close 36-37 loss to them.  Augusta has been a tough team for several years, and this is our first victory over them since the 2004-05 season.

January 9 found us at what might be our toughest tournament of the season.  The Maize tournament was organized as a single round-robin pool for each weight class, with six schools competing.  Of those six schools, three were ranked in the top 10 in 6A( Garden City #4, Wichita N/W #5 & Maize #10) while another was #1 ranked Andale.  It's safe to say that there were no easy matches for our guys this weekend!
 
 
Mulvane came to town for Senior Night, where they took an early lead then held on for a 37-30 victory over our Crusaders.  For complete results, click here.
 
 
Jake Gehring led the team at the Clearwater Invitational on January 16, finishing in second place after a 4-3 loss in the championship match.  Jake came in as the #4 seed, but defeated the #1 seed 5-3 to make it to the finals.  Kyle Miller avenged his loss two days earlier to Mulvane's Caleb White in solid fashion (10-4), but a 2-1 loss in the consolation semifinals left him one win short of finishing in the final four.  Michael Scheel was the other Crusader medalist, finishing in 4th place at 140 lbs.

Our league duals continued on January 21 as we traveled to #3 ranked Andover Central.  With five open weights, we started in a 0-30 hole, not the place you want to be going against a strong opponent.  In the contested matches, Jake Gehring started us out
 with a 5-4 victory.  We didn't have another victory until Austin Ortiz,
wrestling up a weight class at 152 as he works for league honors, won his match
in a spectactular throw.  Our other two wins came in the top three weight classes,
with Dylan Young winning by fall and Bryce Worley taking the decision.  Mitch Wiens nearly made it 3 for 3, with a closely contested overtime loss.
 
 
On January 22, we traveled to our first 2-day event of the season at the Bob Kuhn Prairie Classic Wrestling Tournament at Hays High School.  As always, this was a good, competitive tournament where we got the chance to see some teams for the first and only time during the regular season.

With only eight wrestlers on our roster for this tournament, we were working at a serious handicap from a team standpoint.  We finished in 15th place out of 20 teams; however, we were only five points away from finishing three spots higher.  Three of our wrestlers finished on the medal stand: Austin Ortiz (4th), Kyle Miller (4th) & Michael Scheel (6th).  Two others came an agonizing single loss away from joining their teammates, Jake Gehring on a one point loss and Mitch Wiens on an overtime loss.

Our Crusaders had a strong showing at Garden Plain on January30, where we claimed the second place overall and placed three wrestlers at the top of the medal stand.  Jake Gehring (112), Michael Scheel (140) and Austin Ortiz (145) were all undefeated in their weight classes, while Kyle Miller (119), Dylan Young (189) and Mitch Wiens (215) claimed the second spot with a single loss.  This was the second to the last tournament of the season for the varsity prior to regionals - a great time to start turning it on!
 
 
Our final regular season varsity tournament brought more success for both the
team and the individual wrestlers.  Out of 22 teams, Buhler finished in second
place behind the tournament champions Smoky Valley.  Four Crusader wrestlers
made it into the finals, where all four finished in second place:
Jake Gehring (112), Kyle Miller (119), Michael Scheel (140) and Austin Ortiz (145).
After a tough tournament last week where, Colt Wray made a strong rebound as he
upset the #1 seed in the first round of the tournament.  In perhaps the most
pleasant surprise of the weekend, Danny Gaeddert, wrestling up a weight class,
defeated the #2 seed on his way to a third place finish at 152 lbs!
