Roy and Schingeck lead brackets at Cutler Classic; go 14-0 for Rebel Jays

During another busy week for the Wabeno-Laona-Three Lakes varsity wrestling team, Reegan Roy and Ryker Schingeck led the squad with a combined 14-0 match record covering two competitions, including top placements in their respective weight brackets at the Cutler Classic invitational last week at New London High School.
The event included more than 200 varsity wrestlers from 18 schools, where Roy at 106 pounds, and Schingeck at 120 pounds, captured championships through 4-0 records. Roy is now the top wrestler in the state in his weight class with a 30-1 match record for the season. Schingeck carries a 19-3 record into his next match and joined Roy with a perfect 7-0 record in two events last week.
“Reegan and Ryker had another great wrestling week,” said Rebel Jays head coach Seth Senter following the Cutler Classic on Saturday. “They both entered this tournament fresh from placements in Oshkosh two weeks ago and are enjoying high levels of success. Reegan has wrestled in so many major tournaments that he never gets rattled on the mat, and Ryker keeps getting better and better as he grows with experience.”
Roy’s first-place match victory was against Zander Mueller of Brillion High School. Mueller has a match record of 27-3 and the two have each shared time this season as the highest-ranking wrestler in the 106-pound weight class. Just two weeks ago, Roy defeated Mueller by a 4-0 decision in the semifinal round of the Lourdes on the Water Wrestling Classic in Oshkosh and may be paired again in postseason competition.
Max Clark (113 lbs.) placed third in the Cutler Classic with a 4-1 record while earning his 21st overall win of the year, and was joined with a podium spot by teammate Brody Hoffman (175 lbs.) who placed fourth. Hoffman was 3-2 in the tournament and is now 22-10 during the season.

The only other varsity wrestlers who qualified to participate in New London were Three Lakes High School senior Noah Kincaid (165 lbs.) and Wabeno High School junior Levi Newman (215 lbs.). Kincaid had two pin victories in this event and finished the week with three pins while Newman, who has been fighting some respiratory issues, finished the week with a neutral 3-3 match record.
Prior to the Cutler Classic last Saturday, the Rebel Jays participated in a quad meet in Lena High School on Thursday, competing against the Wildcats and wrestlers from Antigo High School and Florence High School. Standout performances included perfect 3-0 match records from Roy, Schingeck, Newman and another freshman wrestler, Cameron Tilton, who at 120 pounds earned two of his three victories by pin.
According to Senter, Tilton has shown great promise for the Rebel Jays and feels he can positively impact the team moving forward.
“Cameron has performed well to this point,” he said, “and, as he matures in the sport, opportunities for success will be even greater.”
Other Rebel Jay grapplers who participated in Lena were Naaman Stanley, Sawyer Jameson, Levi Shepard, Nolan Milham and Michael Milligan. Each had some strong moments on the mat, including a major decision victory for Shepard against Caleb Vandenlangenberg of Antigo High School.
Next up for the varsity squad will be a quad event at Wabeno High School early this week, followed by a previously unscheduled event beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 18, at Peshtigo High School.
