SHADYSIDE — They might want to think about changing the name of the Shadyside Last Man Standing wrestling tournament after Saturday’s action.

Barnesville’s female sensation Ladyn Hines captured the 120-pound weight class during Saturday’s annual event, winning five matches — three by pin, one by technical and one by decision.

In the finals, the freshman pinned Shadyside’s Rylan Jack in 5:12 while leading 17-5.

“My first and last matches were the toughest today,” Hines said. “I always have a good mindset when I take the mat. That really helps me.”

Hines placed seventh in the female portion of the prestigious Ironman event earlier this winter at Walsh Jesuit High School.

“That gave me a lot of confidence, but to qualify for the Ironman I had to wrestle against a lot of boys and that prepared me for that event,” she added.

When asked what her goal is for this season, she didn’t hesitate before answering, “to win OVACs and state.”

Hines was also voted the Most Outstanding Wrestler by tournament coaches.

Edison repeated as team champion with 248.5 points. The Wildcats had two individual champions in Kaleb Marker (106) and Nolan Haught (144). Marker won by pin in 3:03 while Haught rallied for an exciting 11-10 victory.

Barnesville’s ‘B’ team finished second with 191.5 points. Brayden Trigg (150) and Austin Armstrong (190) won individual titles. Trigg won by pin in 3:27 and Armstrong posted a technical fall.

Wheeling Central placed third with 166.5 points. The Maroon Knights had a pair of titlists in Tylique Marshall (113) and Dustin Sanner (215). Marshall, a titlist in 2024, notched a pin in the finals, as did Sanner.

Bridgeport also had two kingpins in Cole Weekley (126) and Ax’Zavior Santana (138). Weekley won by pin and Santana by technical fall.

Shadyside’s Josiah Green (132); Shenandoah’s Davyn Kunkle (157); Southern Local’s Rowan Wiley (165); River’s Tyler Winkler (175); and Toronto’s Heath Thomas (285) also won individual titles.
