‘Jackets knock off state-ranked Seckman, fall to Ozark

Posted

It was a hectic environment inside the Lebanon Wrestling Fieldhouse on Tuesday evening as the Yellowjackets hosted a tri-match with the Seckman Jaguars and Ozark Tigers.

The Jaguars entered the match ranked No. 2 in Missouri Class 4, while the Tigers are currently ranked No. 7 in Class 4.

Lebanon pulled off an upset to start the night, defeating Seckman 53-30.

To no one’s surprise, the match of the night came between Lebanon’s Cade Muscia and Seckman’s Cole Ruble at 190 pounds.

Ruble is the defending 160-pound state champion in Class 4, but Muscia cared not for rankings. The senior standout rushed Ruble right away and knocked the champ into the bleachers before sticking Ruble in the second period, making the stands erupt.
