New Castle was projected as the deepest semi-state of the four to feed the state meet in the 190-pound weight division and it certainly has turned out that way.
Three of the four 190 wrestlers to advance to this afternoon’s semifinal round came from the New Castle semi-state, including Kyle Harden from Indianapolis Cathedral, who bounced Chesterton’s Lucas Anderson into the consolation round by defeating him by technical fall, 16-1, 4:12 into the match.
Harden was aggressive from the start, taking down Anderson with his first shot and nothing Chesterton’s senior semi-state champion did to try to reverse the momentum worked. Harden was too strong, too quick, too sound.
Regardless of what happens from here, Anderson will place anywhere from fifth through eighth in the state. His next match is against Brody Wingate of East Central. The winner of the goes to the fifth-place match, the loser wrestles for seventh place.
Chesterton’s Max Quiroz, 22-0 since dropping from 132 pounds to 126, faces North Miami’s undefeated Rex Moore this afternoon in a semifinal. Lowell’s Noel Verduzco and Center Grove’s Dominc Brown wrestle in the other 126 semifinal.
