2012 MIGHTY MITE & BANTAM State Championship Results
Four Mighty Mite and seven Bantam Minutemen traveled to Bristol Eastern with hopes of bringing home a State Title. Only one was able to capture that as Cayden Hill won his weight class with two pins and a technical fall in his second year of wrestling. Brother Mason placed third in only his first year while teammate Matt Koops took fourth in the same bracket. Michael Litke of Glastonbury placed fourth in his weight class. Coach Roger Moss said, "I was really happy with the way these four young wrestlers competed today." "They showed great progress from the beginning of the year and I am proud of everyone one of them."
I the next age group the Bantams, Braden Shea was in a bracket with two other teammates and after winning his first match 6-1 lost to eventual the champion. Not to be discouraged Braden went on to win three matches the final an overtime pin to place second. Rory Mayer lost his first match but then rallied for two wins by pin before dropping a 7-3 decision in the consolation finals. The match was 5-3 going into the final period and Rory was looking for a takedown to tie things up but missed his move and was taken down for the final score. Coach Moss had this to say, "Rory was struggling in the middle of the season and we were worried he might not finish out the season. I hope this finish will motivate him to keep going and get better next year. He really has come a long way this year."
Also wrestling in the Bantam division but not placing were Isaac Cortes, Nicholas Koops, Zachary Skinner, Caleb Orde and Marcus Kelly-Johnson.
