Any sport with a referee will always have a moment where a controversial call angers the crowd, and the Walsh Jesuit Ironman — arguably the nation’s best high school wrestling tournament — was no exception Saturday afternoon in a semifinal bout involving 119-pound state champions Ty Mitch of Aurora and Monroeville junior Hunter Stieber.

Mitch, a senior bound for Virginia Tech, had a 3-2 lead late in the match against Stieber, the No. 1 rated 119 in the nation. With 20 seconds left, Stieber took Mitch down in a scramble by throwing in a cross-body ride.

Coming into the 2009 Cadet National Duals Greco-Roman competition, much of the talk centered on the two returning finalists – Minnesota and Wisconsin – states with rich Greco-Roman wrestling traditions.

“I don’t know when that’s going to stop,” said Illinois coach Mike Powell.

On Friday, Powell guided Illinois to the 2009 Cadet National Duals Greco-Roman title in Rochester, Minnesota.

“We have now won two out of the last three Cadet titles,” said Powell. “We were a match away from winning the Cadet title last year. We have won the last two Junior titles, and we were second the year before. Illinois is the best Greco state in the country, I’m proud to say.”

The HSWrestling.Net 2009 National High School Team Rankings as well as the 2009 National Champion can be found below. After a ridiculous state tournament performance by Apple Valley & St. Paris Graham we had a very tough time picking our true number one. After much deliberation amongst our staffers here at HSWrestling we came to the conclusion that Apple Valley would likely hold off both Blair & St. Paris in a dual this season. We don’t expect to hear good things about the mythical 2009 national champions from the folks in Ohio, PA, or NJ who all had great candidates, however, we strongly believe in our selection of Apple Valley as the #1 team in the nation.
