Class A Career Tournament Titles:  Aaron Denson  33

Hi-Lights:  The Patriots became the most prolific team in class A history with a dominating performance at the state tournament. MS saved their best effort of the year to open the QWEST Center. Every wrestler qualified for state and every wrestler contributed to the Championship effort. With 12 state place finishers, MS set a record that had been standing since 1960.  The state record for Pins in a season (327) and pins at the state tournament (23) make this year's team the most dominant pinning team in the history or Nebraska wrestling. When the Patriots finally left the QWEST Center, they left their mark on history!

Individually, the Patriots crowned 4 state champions which is a school best. Aaron Denson finished his career as the state wins record holder with 155 wins. He also finishes as a 3x State Champ and 4x State Finalist to put himself with the best in the history of the state.

Metro Dual Championships

Millard South  75   Bryan  3

Millard South  68   Bellevue East  6

Millard South  44   Creighton Prep  26
 

Highlights: The Patriots finish the year 15-0 in duals for a second straight year and will finish the year at the top class A team in the NSWCA State Dual Rankings.  Currently, the Patriots have won 44 consecutive duals.  The Patriots also won the first true Metro Dual Championships with a 3-0 tournament record.

By the end of the evening, Millard South had pinned 22 wrestlers in setting a new class A team / season pin record. The old record had belonged to last year's Millard South squad. The old record had been 280, and the new record stands at 282 to date. The Patriot squad is geared up to attack the all class record held by Rushville. The current record of 300 is well within reach for the Patriot team.

Individually, Aaron Denson's assault on the all time win list finds him one win short of tying the all class mark of 149. He should be able to break the record at district competition. Aaron is also at 30 pins on the year which puts him within striking distance of the current season pin record.

Jesse Griese Skyhawk Classic

January 28, 2006.  Millard South finished 2nd to Skutt Catholic

Highlights: The team wrestled well despite a very hard week of practice. It was a great accomplishment for all 14 wrestlers to finish in the top 3 of this tournament. In the consolation bracket, the Patriots didn't lose a match. In the finals, things didn't go as well. Out of the 9 finalists, Millard South only won 3 matches. The team looks to improve this statistic at Districts. With 18 pins on the day, the team total is now 260 which is only 20 from the class A record that the Patriots set a year ago, and 40 from the all class record. Aaron Denson continues to build on his class A record for career wins; his total stands at 145 on the year, just 4 from tying the all class record.

Highlights:  Coming off of Christmas break, the Millard West tournament is always a tough start to the new year. This year was no different. Five of the top 10 teams in the state participated in this tournament. The Patriots came away with probably the most dominating performance in the history of this tournament placing all 14 wrestlers in the top 3. However, the tournament wasn't without ups and downs. On the up side, Joel Torpy, defeated the returning state champion enroute to a championship. Similarly, Mitch Jennings returns from injury to defeat a state ranked opponent enroute to a top 3 finish. Trever Spudich returns from injury as well and shook off some rust in earning a top 3 finish. Aaron Denson closes in on the state record for career wins; his total has reached 135, and the state record stands at 141. If all goes well, he should tie or break the record during the Burke Tournament. The team finished the tournament 8-6 in the medal round; however only 4 of our 10 finalists won their bracket. The team will definitely be working hard to improve moving into Metro.

Ralston Invite 12-17-05: 

Millard South Varsity finished in first place with 309.5 points.

Highlights: Millard South finished with a couple of school records at the Ralston Invite. 14 wrestlers in the finals is a school record, and 11 champions is also a school record. During the tournament, the team only lost 3 matches the entire day. The tournament wasn't the strongest, but the wrestlers all wrestled well on the day. Two fill-ins stepped up big on the day. Todd Abboud stepped in at 140 to finish 2nd and Zach Nielsen stepped in at 215 to finish as a champion. Skyler Heckman had a particularly good day defeated the 3rd ranked wrestler from North Platte.   See the pictures HERE

We would have shut out 4 opponents had we not faced the injury bug. 9 wrestlers were honored as All-Dual Team members. The team has now won this event every year it has been in existence (3).

Team finish: 1st Place

Coaches comment:

The team performed well for the first tournament out. To finish up over 100 points ahead of preseason #3 ranked Plattsmouth and preseason #1 ranked Tekamah Herman, really shows the depth of this team. We had 12 in the finals on the day which is also a very good accomplishment. 34-7 against tough competition is always impressive.  Individually, Greg Garcia, had an outstanding day defeating the defending class C state champion 13-6 and then beating an Iowa state placer in the finals.
