HARRISONVILLE - Jack Lage claimed individual honors for the Helias Crusaders at the Harrisonville Christmas Tournament.
Lage, a freshman, went 7-0 at 113 pounds in the two-day event.
"He was just outwrestling guys," Helias coach Weston Keleher said. "For Jack to win the title as a freshman is very impressive."
Lage went 4-0 with three wins by fall in pool play. He then won his quarterfinal match by decision, then posted a first-period fall in the semifinal.
In the title match, Lage posted a 10-8 victory against Dezmond McSellers of Rockwood Summit.
"He gave up three takedowns in the first two periods, but he kept working and got the win," Keleher said.
Jackson Careaga of Helias finished second at 152. He was 5-0 in pool play, winning three times by fall and once by technical fall. He then won by a first-period fall in the quarterfinal before taking a decision in the semifinals.
In the title match, Careaga dropped a 15-2 decision to Sam Frankowski of Rockwood Summit.
"It was a very good tournament for Jackson," Keleher said.
