The Ohio high school wrestling season concluded this past weekend with another memorable State Wrestling Tournament at Ohio State’s Scottenstein Center. Lakewood St. Edward regained the Division I state title, while Graham captured it’s 11th straight D-II state title. In D-III, three four-time winners from Monroeville stole the show.
So what can we do for an encore? How about unveiling our 2011 JJHuddle All-Ohio Wrestling Teams.
In addition to revealing all-state teams in each division, we also unveil our all-division All-Ohio team.
This state has several of the country’s top teams and individuals and that’s reflected in these lists. We dare another state to come up with a better line-up.
