Bulldogs Compete for State Medals at Ford Field 

On Friday, March 3 and Saturday, March 4 the 13 Romeo state qualifiers traveled to Ford Field to compete in the Individual State Finals.  The tournament pits the top 16 wrestlers in each weight class against each other with the top 8 placers in each weight class considered all- state.  The tournament is always a roller coaster of emotions, but, in the end 6 Romeo wrestlers made the podium.  

All the Bulldog wrestlers were terrific all weekend!  They put their hearts out there and competed like the champs they are!  We are super proud of them and their efforts.  It is very rewarding to earn a medal at the state tournament and it’s something nobody can ever take away from you.  Just to get there is a huge accomplishment!  The tough part is when you are so close to winning and just fall short.  We experienced that too.  It doesn’t take away from how proud we are of all our wrestlers.

Josh had a tough draw right off the bat, but, he battled back with a couple tough matches before his knee couldn’t take it anymore.  What a year he had, though!  The first time being entered in district and ends up placing in the state!  It just shows the heart and courage Josh has.

D1-157  James Rivers (37-12) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

James had one terrific career!  He qualified for states for 3 years and it would have been 4 but he was contact traced for Covid and couldn’t compete.  He ended up being a two-time placer and one of our toughest competitors!  James left his mark on our team and the whole state!

D1-157  Nathan Miller (30-21) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Cons. Round 1 – Micah Roper (Oxford HS) 35-13 won by dec over Nathan Miller (Romeo HS) 30-21 (Dec 8-2)

I can’t say enough good things about Nathan Miller.  He is a true warrior and the perfect example of a team player.  Nathan doesn’t care who he wrestles.  He just goes hard every time.  Nathan was one of our most valuable wrestlers because he would go any weight we needed him to go. 

D1-165  Tyler Pressel (39-19) placed 7th and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Max Callahan (Davison) 18-7 won by decision over Tyler Pressel (Romeo) 39-19 (Dec 8-2)

• 7th Place Match – Tyler Pressel (Romeo) 39-19 won by dec over Owen Foster (West Ottawa) 45-5 (Dec 7-1)

Tyler wrestled probably the best tournament of the season at Ford Field.  That says a lot because he is a first time qualifier and wrestling the toughest competition.  He had a huge match in the blood round to beat a kid he lost to twice earlier.  It was straight effort and desire personified!

D1-190  Brayden Mirjavadi (52-4) placed 1st and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Brayden Mirjavadi (Romeo) 52-4 won over Robbie Gossard (Bedford) 37-21 (Fall 1:19)

• 1st Place Match – Brayden Mirjavadi (Romeo) 52-4 won by dec over Ryan Ahern (Rockford) 51-3 (Dec 3-2)

Brayden has been the man all year.  He is a 4-time state qualifier who was 2nd last year.  Brayden dedicated himself to being the best he could through his nutrition program, conditioning, training, technique, film study, and mindset.  He is a great example for our younger wrestlers to show them what it takes to be a state champion and that the possibility is there for them!

D1-190  Ian Antonelli (26-22) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Lee Krueger (Catholic Central) 34-17 won over Ian Antonelli (Romeo) 26-22 (MD 9-0)
• Cons. Round 1 – Caleb Zimmerman (Reeths-Puffer) 22-6 won over Ian Antonelli (Romeo HS) 26-22 (Dec 8-1)

We are all super proud of Ian.  He wrestled 215 most of the year and cut down to 190 for the team toward the end of the season.  He decided to stay at 190 for the individual district tournament and ended up qualifying for state.  He wrestled his best at the end of the year when it counted!

D1-285  Iban Contreras (41-11) placed 6th and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Iban Contreras (Romeo) 41-11 won by fall over Adrian Rincon (Monroe HS) 47-7 (Fall 1:03)
• Quarterfinal – Iban Contreras (Romeo) 41-11 won by decision over Kyle Scofield (Milford HS) 45-10 (Dec 6-2)

• 5th Place Match – Sam Battaglia (Dakota) 20-6 won by fall over Iban Contreras (Romeo HS) 41-11 (Fall 2:58)

Iban is an incredible story!  He literally came out for the team last year after never wrestling before.  He worked out all off season, was on our summer dual team, and wrestled this year like a seasoned veteran.  Iban made the semifinals and had a great tournement!

D1-106  Bryce Holt (45-12) placed 4th and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Bryce Holt (Romeo) 45-12 won by tech fall over Austin Anderson (Midland) 37-13 (18-1)
• Quarterfinal – Nathan Walkowiak (Catholic Central) 47-9 won in OT over Bryce Holt (Romeo HS) 45-12 (7-5)

• 3rd Place Match – Nathan Walkowiak (Catholic Central) 47-9 won over Bryce Holt (Romeo) 45-12 (Dec 3-1)

Bryce is a little bit of an anomaly.  Most freshman don’t just come in and win 45 matches and place in the state tournament.  It just goes to show all the hard work Bryce put in before his high school career.  He trains with a purpose, competes like a senior, and is mature beyond his years.

D1-113  Owen Perry (24-21) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Robert Dawson (John Glenn) 33-12 won by dec over Owen Perry (Romeo) 24-21 (Dec 8-6)
• Cons. Round 1 – Owen Perry (Romeo) 24-21 won in OT over Dominic Benjamin (Oxford HS) 33-14 (SV-1 5-3)
• Cons. Round 2 – Josh Drake (Northville) 39-5 won by major dec over Owen Perry (Romeo) 24-21 (MD 14-2)

Owen Perry is one of the toughest guys pound for pound in the state.  He was also in one of the deepest weight classes – 113 was loaded.  Owen wrestles great in all positions – neutral, top and bottom.  He is a total competitor who is going to be a real problem for people the next 3 years.

D1-126  Owen Youngblood (40-15) placed 6th and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Owen Youngblood (Romeo) 40-15 won by dec over Kamia Fielder (Milford) 37-7 (Dec 5-3)
• Quarterfinal – Owen Youngblood (Romeo) 40-15 won by fall over Nathan Gerber (Bedford HS) 40-16 (Fall 2:52)
• Semifinal – Caden Horwath (Davison) 22-1 won by major dec over Owen Youngblood (Romeo) 40-15 (MD 11-2)

• 5th Place Match – Easton Hardesty (Brighton) 33-16 won by dec over Owen Youngblood (Romeo) 40-15 (8-4)

Owen really started to come into his own at the right time.  He was a regional champion and then made the state semifinals.  Owen has qualified for the individual state tournament every year placing twice.  He is tough as nails and showed all year he can compete with anyone!

D1-132  Alex Angelo (42-10) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Alex Angelo (Romeo) 42-10 won over Grady Rousse (Traverse City Central) 26-13 (Dec 5-3)
• Quarterfinal – Zephan Catalina (Northville) 42-6 won by decision over Alex Angelo (Romeo) 42-10 (Dec 5-4)
• Cons. Round 2 – Connor Palazzolo (Dakota) 39-12 won by decision over Alex Angelo (Romeo) 42-10 (Dec 4-2)

Alex competed in another very deep weight class in which every match was very competitive.  He had a tremendous season and career.  He is a two-time qualifier and a regional champ as a senior.  If they wrestled the tournament on another day, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him in the finals.

D1-138  Marcus Donovan (25-14) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Marcus Donovan (Romeo HS) 25-14 received a bye () (Bye)
• Quarterfinal – Justin Gates (Davison HS) 34-2 won by tech fall over Marcus Donovan (Romeo HS) 25-14 (15-0)
• Cons. Round 2 – Jon Palmer (Traverse City West) 42-14 won over Marcus Donovan (Romeo) 25-14 (Dec 4-3)

Marcus is one tough hombre.  He battled through a messed up knee and a nose he couldn’t breathe out of to make his second trip to the state finals.  After meeting the state champ in the second round, his blood round match was about as close as it gets.  Marcus is definitely battle tested and can go with anybody.

D1-144  Jack Zehnder (28-7) place is unknown and scored 0.0 team points.

• Champ. Round 1 – Jack Zehnder (Romeo HS) 28-7 won by dec over Cayden Strong (Clarkston HS) 37-11 (3-0)
• Quarterfinal – Jak Keller (Rockford) 52-3 won by decision over Jack Zehnder (Romeo HS) 28-7 (Dec 8-2)
• Cons. Round 2 – Christian Byrne (Roosevelt) 43-4 won by fall over Jack Zehnder (Romeo HS) 28-7 (Fall 2:25)

Jack Zehnder was in another one of those super tough weight classes.  He was definitely in the mix to place and place high since he was wrestling so fell all season.  It was very cool Jack was able to qualify as a junior because the experience of being on the big stage is so important.  

Bulldogs Make the State Semifinals! 

On Friday, February 24 and Saturday, February 25 the Romeo wrestlers competed in the team state quarterfinals and semifinals.  In the quarterfinals the Bulldogs faced the two-time defending state champions Davison Cardinals.   Romeo came into the match as the underdogs, but, wrestled with composure, heart, grit, and pride.  At the end of the match Romeo became the first team in school history to reach the state semifinals!

In the semifinals Romeo had Catholic Central the #1 seed.   The Bulldogs gave everything they had, but, CC turned out to be a little too much.  Romeo ended up losing to the eventual champions, but, they can certainly hold their heads high.  They represented their team, school, and community very well.  

A special thanks to all the parents, fans, and alumni who came to support the team.  It was great seeing everyone cheering and supporting our team.  We have a great group of parents who helped with rides and supervision.  It was much appreciated!!  

The whole weekend was a great experience from the Friday morning workout at Three Rivers High School, to the walking in the parade on Friday and Saturday, to team dinner on Friday night, to competing with the best of the best!

Bulldogs Continue to Set Records! 

On Saturday, February 18 the Bulldogs entered a team record 14 wrestlers into the Individual Regional Tournament.  At the end of the day, Romeo still had 13 wrestlers alive to represent our team at the Individual State Finals at Ford Field on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4.  Thirteen state qualifiers is a team record and concluded an incredible week after winning the Team Regional Tournament.  

The Bulldogs continue to improve and establish themselves as force in the state.  There were some terrific individual efforts, but, everyone wrestled hard and can be proud of their effort!

 Wrestlers Avenge Lost – Win Team Regional 

On Wednesday, February 15 the #6 ranked Romeo Bulldogs met the #4 ranked Dakota Cougars in the first round of the Team Regional in what ended up being the match of the evening.  Dakota had beaten Romeo 44-19 the first time they met, but, the Bulldogs came in with a full line-up and a different attitude!

Romeo spotted Dakota an early 21-9 lead after 6 matches before the Bulldogs ran off 5 straight wins.  It was 31 – 24 Romeo going into the last two matches before Romeo got a tech fall to put the dual meet out of reach.

The Bulldogs had Rochester Adams in the finals after they beat Troy High School.  It was all Romeo in the finals!

The Bulldogs won their 7th Team Regional Championship overall and the first since 2011.  Romeo advances to the state quarterfinals in Kalamazoo on Friday, February 24.

Bulldogs Compete at MAC Red/White Tournament 

On Friday, February 3 and Saturday, February 4 the JV and varsity wrestlers competed in the MAC Red/White Tournament hosted by Warren Mott High School.  It was a great showing by the Bulldogs and a fantastic way to head into the post season.  It was the last tournament for the JV westlers and they did themselves proud.  There was a tremendous amount of growth shown throughout the season.  It was especially nice that many of our JV wrestlers placed and earn medals for all their hard work!

The varsity team also fought hard and represented themselves well!  With some varsity wrestlers being held out for maxing out their number of matches and others for getting healthy, the wrestlers who were entered into the tournament wrestled like champs!

 Surprise, Surprise….. There was a three way tie for the MAC Red Dual Meet Championship.  We found out Anchor Bay won their dual meet against Dakota on a technicality creating a three way tie between the Anchor Bay, Dakota and Romeo.  All three schools were awarded MAC Red Dual Meet Championship plaques!

Here are the team scores for the varsity tournament:
