McGeough only seventh Bulldog to make state wrestling finals

Submitted by admin on Tue, 02/22/2022 - 16:25

Gabe McGeough celebrates the semifinal victory that punched his ticket to the finals. He became only the seventh Bulldog wrestler to achieve this feat. “I had momentum building up in the tournament,” he said. “I was confident in my stuff.”

McGeough won the semifinal 4-3 over New London’s Dominic Lopez, who hadn’t lost a match all season and was favored by many to make the finals.

MFL MarMac senior Gabe McGeough placed second in Class 1A at 152 pounds at the IHSAA State Wrestling Tournament. He lost the championship match 3-1, in overtime, to defending state champ Wyatt Reisz.

McGeough attracted attention for his black cowboy hat and black shirt honoring late mentor and coach Al Reicks. “If Al was here, he’d just tell me to keep getting after it tomorrow and the next day. This cowboy hat, I’ve got to put it back on today, get back on the horse and keep going.”
