The girls have been wrestling boys all season and last Sunday they had a chance to tangle with some girls in district wrestling competition.
      Boardman High School’s Lexi Beadle was District champion at 116#. In the championship match Lexi decked #1 seed Lexi Zehe of Madison in 4:38. In the first round Lexi won a 14-0 major decision over Ava Nelson of Mentor. In the semis, Lexi decked Camryn Manley of Mogadore in 3:25.
      “That was the most dominating performance that we have had all year by any of our wrestlers. From start to finish Lexi wrestled outstanding,” Boardman Co-Head Coach Dom Mancini said.
      Sloan McNally placed third at 121#. In the consolation finals Sloan decked Faith Perriman in 51 seconds. Earlier Sloan lost to the eventual champion Marcella Hatcher of Cleveland Central Catholic. In the consies, Sloan decked Donna Tran of Mentor in 47 seconds.
      “Sloan battled hard. I tell you one thing about our girls, they were two of the meanest girls in the tournament,” Coach Mancini said.
      “After wrestling the boys all year, this was a walk in the park for them,” Coach Mancini said.
