Oak Forest sophomore Danny Swan will have plenty of time before he writes his wrestling swan song.
For now, he can feel good about winning the Class 2A state championship in the 106-pound weight class.
Swan edged Nkosi Moody of Rich Central 4-2 in a tense overtime thriller in the final on Saturday at Assembly Hall in Champaign. Swan was one of two Bengal individuals to return home with a medal hanging around his neck.
Senior Alec Brown placed fourth in the 220-pound weight class. Brown won 3-of-4 matches before dropping a 5-2 decision to Montini's Edgar Ruano in the third-place match.
What did you think of Oak Forest's performance in the Class 2A state wrestling tournament? Two medal winners, plenty of experience for the youngsters on the Bengals' squad, no?
