Yes! Will be Jake's first match. Very tough bracket at 220. Conant HS sectionals had top 4 guys in the State there. They are all so good at this level...should be exciting!

It looks like Jack Bellizzi beat the Providence freshman phenom Ryan Boersma (5-2) in the 1st round of 3A 220 lbs to advance to the final 8 and now faces Mt Carmel's Nik Mishka.
It's hard to tell but that match is probably today sometime.
He just beat Mishka 8-1! Next match is the
#1 Abraham around 7:30 tonight. So exciting!!
Well that must put him in the final 4 (that have not lost a match yet). Congrats!
Now Jake has a tough nut to crack in Abraham, best of luck.
Jake lost to Abraham in the semi-finals 7-3 (Abraham is the favorite 51-0). Jake won another match 14-6 and now wrestles for 3rd Place against Fisher of Yorkville.
Jake ended the tournament with a 4th Place finish at 220 lbs, he lost to Fisher from Yorkville 4-3.
Just got back from the closing ceremonies. What a cool experience! Yes, Jake lost a heartbreaker 4-3 in triple overtime to Fisher which placed him 4th! Jake's goal this year was to make it to State for the third time and make the podium. He fulfilled his goal! I am so proud of him and all the 220 wrestlers. All great kids!
Congrats to Jake and Maine West on a great year! 220 was just brutal. Good luck at ISU and keep us posted on him. We are all competitive about our teams on this board but in the end we pull for all Illinois kids.
You should be proud of him. He did great 220 is absolutely brutal. My son wrestled that weight class back in 2004. Congratulations to you and your son.
Good luck on your recruiting.
