PREP WRESTLING: Lakeland sweeps through 5A duals; Rollie Lane next

| December 29, 2024 1:12 AM

RATHDRUM — Carson Leonard (120 pounds), Jaren Knopp (126), Cole Cooper (144), Austin Howell (150) and Kalab Hammer (157) went 3-0 on the day for the Hawks, who swept Sandpoint, Lewiston and Minico dual matches at Lakeland High. 

Lakeland’s Zane Gray won by pin at 285 against Minico — the reigning 4A champion — to clinch that dual 46-38 for the Hawks. 

“We’re still missing a few guys, but we fought through it and got some key wins,” Lakeland coach Will Edelblute said. “Cole Cooper had a phenomenal day, as did Carson with a win against a Minico kid (Greyson Molina) he split matches with last year, and he won teched him. Minico is the No. 1 team in the state, and it’s a really big confidence booster to show that we’re right where we want to be.” 

Sandpoint junior William Bomba (285 pounds) won all three of his bouts and the Bulldogs went 1-2.

Bomba won his first two matches by way of a first-round pin and his third by a 12-9 decision, which proved to be crucial as Sandpoint edged out 5A Inland Empire League newcomer Lewiston by three points, 42-39.

Also picking up two wins for Sandpoint, which lost 49-30 to Minico and 57-21 to Lakeland, were Zak Wood (120), Charlie Becker (175), and Jackson Holman (215); Holman also had a third win by forfeit.

Lakeland and Sandpoint will compete in the Rollie Lane Invitational next Friday and Saturday at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa.
