Cadet and Junior State Features Match Up of Champs
 
Wrestlers from across the state made their way to the 2008 USAW Idaho State Wrestling Championships, April 11-12 at Capital High School in Boise.
While a few weight classes may have been lacking for quantity, they certainly were not lacking for quality, such was the case in the Junior, 119-pound bracket. While only four competitors were present, three of them have won at least one high school state title (Braden Mowry, CDA; Kyle Johnshoy, Melba; and Holden Packard, Mountain View). The fourth competitor in the bracket was Snake River's two-time state placer Jonathon Turpin. Emerging in this King-of-the-Hill bracket was Mowry, The defending state champ secured a 6-0, 3-2 decision over Johnshoy, with Packard and Turpin finishing third and fourth respectively.
The upset of the tournament came in the Cadet, 119-pound bracket where South Fremont's Brock Banta secured the fall over Lewiston's Casey George.  The Bengal freshman, who mauled his way to the 5A state title and recently collected gold at Northwest Regionals, posted a first round technical fall. Late in the the second period, however, Banta, the 3A state runner up, scored the knock out punch with a fall at  1:31.

Idaho Wrestlers Deliver at Western Regionals
 
More than forty Idaho wrestlers competed at last month's Northwest Regionals in Battle Ground, Washington. The tournament, which drew wrestlers from all over the Northwest--as well as Illinois, Hawaii, and California, is regarded as one of the region's premiere freestyle events.
Idaho garnered nearly a dozen medals, including titles by Lewsiton's Casey George and Bonners Ferry's Dayne Swisher.
 
 
Below is a list of Idaho competitors who posted multiple wins at this year's event.
