LIBERTY TWP. <\/p>\n
The Mason Comets captured their fifth straight Greater Miami Conference wrestling championship on Saturday night at Lakota East. <\/p>\n
For our seniors to win a GMC title their entire career is a big deal. Its been a long week but a rewarding week for our kids, Mason coach Craig Murnan said. <\/p>\n
The Comets qualified as a team for the state tournament on Wednesday night. The GMC championship was a nice addition to the season. <\/p>\n
The Comets, who won with 219 points, had their traditional green and white colors on display, along with bleached blonde hair that has become a wrestling tradition at Mason. <\/p>\n
Robert Shephard, a state champion for us, started it seven or eight year ago and they do it this time of year to create unity, Murnan said. <\/p>\n
The Comets captured five weight classes, beginning with Zack Dothan at 106 and Patrick Kearny at 113. <\/p>\n
It is nice to win since I hadnt won since my freshman year. I was just going out and wrestling and trying to stay calm, what Ive been doing all year, Kearney said. <\/p>\n
Masons other champions were Caleb Walden at 132 and Jordan Collins, who had a pin at 160. <\/p>\n
We have a schedule that has challenged them all year and so we are getting to this point and seeing the rewards from it, Murman said. <\/p>\n
