Prep Wrestling: North Baltimore's Ishmael nets 125th career pin
ARCADIA -- Dalton Ishmael's march to the top of the record books continued on Saturday.

Ishmael scored five pins in a total time of 3:02 on his way to winning the 195-pound weight class and most valuable wrestler honors at the Arcadia Invitational.

Ishmael, a two-time state placer for North Baltimore, scored pins in 18, 19 and 39 seconds to go along with a fall in 1:11 in the preliminary rounds.

He finished the day by sticking Plymouth's Sean Bolen in 35 seconds in the final.

A three-time Arcadia champion, Ishmael is 12-0 this season with 12 pins. He has a career record of 145-14 and has 125 career pins, just 18 away from the state record for falls held by Mayfield's Derrick Bendau.

There were plenty of other area champions as Patrick Henry and Riverdale both had a pair of titlists.

Wayne Trace defended its title by outscoring Riverdale 307-268 for first place.

Mitchell Matheny blanked Brandon Eck to win the 120-pound crown for Riverdale while teammate Seth Knoll stopped Plymouth's Chance Butcher 15-4 for first place at 152 pounds.

Both of the Patrick Henry's champs came in the upper weights as Galen Powers pinned Riverdale's Tre Headington for the 182-pound crown and Brandon Bennett pinned Riverdale's Justin Pfeister for the 285-pound title.

Three wrestlers from the Blanchard Valley Conference also cruised to championships.

Arcadia's Jarrod Bowman was the 113-pound winner by whipping Riverdale's Koltin Martin 17-0 while Cory-Rawson's Austin Brown pinned Montpelier's Dallas Royer in 5:09 to win at 138.

Van Buren's Chance Sonnenberg, who was coming off a 2011-12 season cut short by injuries, had a big return as he topped Plymouth's Logan Horn 7-2 for the 170-pound title.
