Buchanan captured the first Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph County Consortium Wrestling Tournament.

The tournament replaced league tournaments for the Lakeland, Red Arrow and St. Joseph Valley conferences. The point of the tournament was to provide some quality wrestling in preparation for the start of the state tournament this week.

Edwardsburg was third (161), Brandywine fourth (132) and Eau Claire fifth (130.5). Cassopolis finished eighth with 99 points.

Jeff Mucha, ranked No. 9 at 135 in Division 3 defeated John Tullos of White Pigeon, ranked No. 6 in Division 4, 7-2. The loss was the first of the season for Tullos.

Gage Hutchison, ranked No. 1 in Division 3, remained undefeated with a 1-0 victory over Arlando Lopez of Berrien Springs in the 215-pound final.

Jim DeVlaminck pinned teammate Austin Caufman in the 285-pound final in 2:41.

Brandywine had a champion in Chanc Ravish, ranked No. 2 in Division 4. He won by injury default over Edwardsburg’s Michael Kempton.
