KAUKAUNA-It was a good day to be in an Ashwaubenon Jaguars wrestling uniform Saturday afternoon at the WIAA Kaukauna Regional (Feb. 10).

The Jaguars qualified 10 of the 14 available spots to next Saturday’s Sectional in Green Bay.

Cody Minor and Fernando Coronado each won a Regional Championship (106 and 126 lbs. respectively), and Noah Leisgang and Connor Ramage both finished in the Runner-Up position.

Minor breezed through to the title match with a fall in the semis and then won a major decision 10-0 in the final in which he was hardly challenged.

Coronado took a similar pattern but in reverse order; winning a major decision and then pinned (fall) his opponent from Appleton North in just over a minute into the match to win the title bout.

Leisgang entered into the 113 lb. bracket in the morning weigh-in. It is considered to be one of the toughest from top to bottom in NE Wisconsin.

After narrowly defeating Mason Campshure of Kaukauna in the Semis, Leisgang went toe to toe with Eric Barnett from Hortonville in the Finals.

Barnett entered the Championship Match at 38-0 and is ranked in the Top 5 in the nation.

Even though Leisgang lost the match in a decision, it showed that he will be a force to be reckoned with at the Sectional.

The fabulous freshman (Ramage) then showed his array of skills on the Ghost’s mats.

All of Ramage’s matches went the six-minute distance.

He came out on top in two of the three to qualify at the 132 lb. classification.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day came at 120 lbs. where Dominic Stichmann upset Landon Them of Hortonville in the first round with a breathtaking one-point victory and then punched his ticket by RULE in the wrestle-back round to end the day.

Marty Kiernan took the path less followed by losing his first match and then wining his final two by fall and technical fall to advance to next Saturday.

Nathan Moynihan, Dawson Dembroski, Jordan VandeHei, and Katayen Gardner also made it out of the Kaukauna Regional (finishing in the Top 4).
