MARSHALL - The Black Hawk-Darlington wrestling team crowned six regional champions en route to winning the WIAA Division 3 Marshall regional to qualify for the team sectional on Tuesday.
Black Hawk-Darlington's regional champions include Cody Blosch (113), Cayden Milz (120), Paul King (126), Kolbe Ubersox (132), Hunter Bredeson (138) and Jake Tuescher (heavyweight).
The Black Hawk-Darlington team will wrestle Brookwood in a Division 3 Parkview sectional semifinal dual meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Orfordville. If Black Hawk-Darlington knocks off Brookwood, they would wrestle in the sectional championship at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
"It's a great honor and achievement for the kids to make it to the team sectional," Black Hawk-Darlington co-coach Willy Chambers said. "They have obviously worked hard. Because of their talent and work ethic they earned it. When you looked at the records, I thought we could have that many (regional champions) but you never know until you wrestle. It's hard to compare records."
The Warrior-Redbirds will send 10 wrestlers to the Division 3 Mineral Point individual sectional on Saturday. The regional second-place finishers also moving on are Tyler Mosely (170), Bailey Schiling (182), Brody Milz (195) and Cody Nielsen (220).
"I think the SWAL is one of the best wrestling conferences," Chambers said. "It's consistently tough."
