Jag-Hawk dual could be determined by outcome of several swing matches

December 19, 2019 by Dan Holm

Cox posted a 13-5 major decision at 113 pounds, but the Jaguars rolled to a 48-25 victory.

Thursday’s wrestling showdown between fifth-ranked Ankeny Centennial and No. 8 Ankeny will likely be decided by the outcome of several toss-up matches.

The crosstown rivals will meet for their annual clash at 7:30 p.m. at Ankeny High School. Centennial brings a 6-1 record into the CIML Central Conference opener, while Ankeny has a 2-1 mark.

“Both teams match up well with each other,” said Centennial coach Jay Groth. “It’s going to be a battle, and it’s turned into a pretty good rivalry for both schools. I’m excited about the meet.”

Centennial leads the all-time series 6-1, which includes a victory in the Dave Ewing Duals at Ankeny two years ago. The Jaguars posted a 48-25 win in last year’s meeting.

Ankeny’s lone victory over Centennial came in the 2016-17 season, when the Hawks posted a 28-26 triumph. Current senior Sam Kallem, who is ranked fourth at 145 pounds, was a freshman on that squad.

“I’m really fired up. I can’t wait,” Kallem said Wednesday on the Ankeny Fanatic weekly podcast. “Ever since my freshman year, I’ve wanted to beat them (again). This would just be a great way to go out my senior year.”

Here is how the two teams could match up, based on the lineups they have been using thus far:

Centennial vs. Ankeny

106 Wiener vs. Davis

113 Janssen vs. T. Anderson

120 Bresson vs. Cox

126 Helmkamp vs. J. Anderson

132 Talmadge vs. Faeth

138 Bennett vs. Rathjen

145 Cuppy vs. Kallem

152 Monroe vs. Kolthoff

160 Cahill vs. Rose

170 Neils vs. Bennethum

182 Vernon vs. Pomrenke

195 Frazier vs. Schwiete

220 Wells vs. Bales

285 Parlee vs. Kingston

Centennial would likely be favored to win five of those matches, while Ankeny would have the edge at three of the weights. Bonus points, as well as the outcome of the six swing matches, will determine the winner.

“We’re really looking forward to it,” said Ankeny coach Jack Wignall. “We’re really excited about it as a team and as a coaching staff.”
