Eight other Northmor wrestlers place within the top six wrestlers in their respective weight classes.

The Sally George Invite would be the final tune-up before Northmor locks up with the Pleasant squad in the Region 18 semi-finals on Wednesday Feb. 1. Northmor enters the match-up as the No.1 seed in the 18-B bracket and Pleasant as the No.3. The winner of that dual will meet up with the winner of the 18-A championship, either No.2 seed Genoa Area or No.1 seed and host of the championships, Oak Harbor. The team champion of Region 18 will then head to Ohio State’s St.John Arena on Sunday Feb. 12 to compete in the State Wrestling Dual Team Tournament.
