Culver Community’s Matt Hurford wrapped up a perfect 48-0 senior season with the 182-pound state championship at the IHSAA State Wrestling Finals over the weekend. This is Hurford’s second Athlete of the Week distinction of the season after a nomination back on Dec. 26 for winning his fourth straight Rochester Invitational championship.
Oregon-Davis’ Jessica Avarone put up a combined 28 points in two games — including a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds versus Morgan Township — as the No. 2 Lady Bobcats bowed out of the state tournament with a loss to No. 1 Fort Wayne Canterbury in the Class A Caston Regional championship game Saturday.
INDIANAPOLIS — After all the miles he ran in preparation for this moment, it only made sense that Matt Hurford would run a little more.
A big, wide circle around the center mat, knees high, fists pumping in celebration, a look of both joy and relief on his face.
A minute before, in front of 10,000 cheering spectators at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Hurford had taken down Perry Meridian’s Jake Masengale for the second time during their 182-pound championship match at the IHSAA state wrestling finals.
That did the trick, as the Culver Community senior held on for a 9-4 victory.
