ROCKWALL —

Rockwall-Heath’s wrestling team made it back-to-back District 19-4A championships with its 202-178.5 defeat of Rockwall at Henderson High School gymnasium last Saturday.

The RISD powers dominated wrestling action at the championships, with third-place Lancaster chalking up 35 team points and fourth-place Henderson logging 21 points.

Heath qualified 14 and Rockwall 13, with one alternate, to the regional competition with their performances at the district championships.

According to winning head coach Shane Seleznoff, “I am very proud of every wrestler on this team. This has been a special group of kids to coach and they showed just one of the reasons why at district. Whatever happens at region or state they can be proud of the traditions they have started at Heath. It is an honor to be their coach.”

Leading the way for the Hawks were district champions Jacob Makelke (120), Jacob Black (126), Nakona Brawner (132), Tyler Gaddis (138), Jacob Glastad (160), Brady Van Bevers (170), Troy Mercer (195) and Jay Arnold (285).

Taking second-place honors and advancing to region were Drew Troxler (120), Cody Jonas (126), Marcus Hess (132), Chris Humphreys (138), Garrett Miller (160), John Hernandez (170) and Rilee Fisher (195). Austin Hatten (285) finished third and will advance as an alternate.
