Notebook: 'Aggressive' Addi Rudolph places fifth at state for Central Crossing Comets


Notebook: ‘Aggressive’ Addi Rudolph places fifth at state for Central Crossing Comets
ThisWeek group
Addi Rudolph was a little too passive on the mat, and the Central Crossing wrestler knew that had to change.
The Comets freshman “flipped a switch” this season, and that helped her to go on to place fifth at 101 pounds in the girls state tournament Feb. 20 and 21 at Hilliard Davidson.
Rudolph finished the season 12-2, going 7-2 in the district and state tournaments. Her only losses came against the eventual state champion, Hayley Snyder of Vincent Warren (17-1 technical fall in her district opener Feb. 14 at Olentangy Orange) and the state runner-up, Elyria’s Riley Banyas (8-0 in the second round at state). Snyder defeated Banyas 3-0 in the state final. ....

Notebook: Transformation leads to success for Central Crossing Comets wrestler Abel Garantche


Notebook: Transformation leads to success for Central Crossing Comets wrestler Abel Garantche
ThisWeek group
By his own admission, Abel Garantche was “pretty chubby” when he first stepped on the mat for the Central Crossing wrestling program. 
Weighing in at 260-plus pounds, Garantche referred to himself as a “super heavyweight.” He wasn’t comfortable in his own skin and decided a change was necessary. Garantche dropped weight to wrestle at 220 and has found success on and off the mat. 
Garantche was 21-4 overall before a quad Feb. 6 at Jonathan Alder. Last season, he was a Division I district qualifier, going 2-2 at 220 to finish 29-17.  ....
