The greatest conference event

[crimsonblooded]

Sandusky Bay Conference Wrestling returns this Saturday! All three divisions converge in Lakota where every weight class will have one individual victorious from the 20 school field. Since the 2017-2018 season the SBC has become a super power wrestling conference where state champs and state placers wrestling for a conference title has become the norm. The conference has its share of #1 ranked guys every year and even Division 2 and Division 3 #1s battling in the championship.
Though the Team titles are divided by divisions the overall score is what is truly coveted. Milan Edison has won this ever since the mega league was formed until last year when Perkins dethroned the bay division giant. Will Edison be able to return to the top? Can Perkins repeat as overall SBC champs? Not so fast! The conference has returned to Lakota from Norwalk after several years being held at the capital of Huron county. Lakota has horses and this might be the first time a school from the River division goes on the hunt for the overall SBC title. This Saturday it will all unfold and history shall be made!

For the second time two number ones will battle for a SBC title. Division 3 number 1 Kohen Horvath of Edison and Division 2 number 1 Kaiyon McKinney of Perkins will battle for the 165 pound weight class. Not to mention Division 3 ranked number 3 Braxton Quaintance of Lakota will also be competing at the 165 weight class. This is gotta be the toughest bracket for conference in the state! Then you can throw in D3 #14 Malakii Pinkerton of Port Clinton and D2 #22 Nico Helton of Norwalk for good measure. This is one weight class! They all have state ranked wrestlers!
Lance Overmyer of Clyde is #1 at 157, Luke James is #1 at 175, then returning state champ Abe Hermes is #2 at 126. Then another #3 Marcus Medina will battle with Overmyer at 157 then coming in at #4 Wyatt Nemitz of Perkins will battle with Abe Hermes. These match ups are nuts! If you miss Saturday you miss the Best wrestling conference the state has to offer period. The Sandusky Bay Conference is Wrestling! Two more days and this event is about to go down!

Heck, before SBC absorbed what was left of the NOL, it was a great wrestling conference. So much so, Basketball took a hit

The great thing about SBC wrestling compared to the other sports is the individual champs are just that. Sandusky Bay Conference champions. They are not wrestling for a division but the whole conference. Then like you said the old SBC was always tough before but much more now. Does hurt to lose Oak Harbor as it had nothing to do with the wrestling program. They sadly leave a conference that can get rocking to a conference that you can hear crickets. Sometimes I wish individual sports could just join their own conferences separate from the sports that seem to determine everything for other sports.

Its the SBC version of ironman.

I personally enjoy combining the wrestlers for one big bracket and one big title. It goes to show a smaller school kid can be the best even against the bigger ones. I’ve always wanted to see a mix up at the state tournament as well where the champions wrestle a round robin for overal weight class champ.

I would hate after competing in the Current SBC to go back to a smaller 7/8 team conference. I would be looking to combine leagues if not in the SBC. I would want a conference in another division as well. I know Blanchard valley and the N10 combined. But the ADs from Blanchard valley loving wrestling like they do wanted to keep the integrity of their conference and kept the brackets separate and champs wrestled for overall and runner ups for third and thirds for 5th overall. One problem this wasn’t shown on baumspage for either bracket and they called it an exebition. They could took notes from the SBC and called the highest placer from each conference the champs of respected conferences.
