Comparatively speaking, Holy Cross is in good
position after having swept through a solid field in the Tiger Duals at
Holy Cross. Having gone through four dual matches undefeated, the prospects for making their presence felt in Baton Rouge next weekend at the Louisiana Classics are looking favorable. With the exception of Teurlings Catholic and in addition to Division II runnerup Holy Cross, other top 10 teams at last year’s state tournament were Live Oak, Shaw, Parkway, and St. Louis. Holy Cross soundly defeated Tuerlings the previous week. “This was a real grind of a day for all teams involved with all of the matches we wrestled,” Holy Cross Coach Eric Desormeaux said. “All of the teams that took part were very high caliber, and every match counted toward seeding for the state tournament.” In the team standings, Holy Cross (4-0) was first, followed by St. Louis (2-2), Live Oak (2-2), Parkway (1-3), and Shaw (1-3). As far as individual seeding at the Louisiana Classics and at the state tournament, one of the wrestlers establishing himself among the best in his class is Holy Cross’ Alex Nicosia. Last season, Nicosia placed third in the La. Classics and was the 2012 Division II champion in the 113-pound class. |
“At this point in the season, I consider myself to be the strongest, and
it’s the right time of the year,” Nicosia said. “I know what I’m going to see
next week and a month later at state. Right now, I just have to fight hard and
worry about next week.”
Going back two weeks, when Holy Cross competed in
the Las Vegas Invitational, Nicosia began a streak of five pins. In the Tiger
Duals, he kept on going and produced similar results, with all of his wins
coming from pins.
Another competitor who elevated himself and his team was Shaw’s Cody Woodson,
who scored a dramatic overtime win against David Stutes of St. Louis in the
160-pound class.
“My coach told me to change it up in overtime so they
couldn’t tell what I was going to do,” Woodson said. “It was a very tough match
and I kept wrestling.”
Stutes figures to be one of the top seeds at the
state tournament, but Woodson could be right on his heels after this weekend’s
victory.
“That win gave Cody a lot of momentum and it also helped the
team,” Shaw Coach Paul Hattie said. “It also shows that we belong with the big
guys too because Stutes is one of the top two guys in the state in his weight
class.”
