Sheridan wrestling beats reigning 4A Champs Kelly Walsh Saturday

 

SHERIDAN — When Sheridan wrestling senior Reese Osborne pinned Kelly Walsh’s Garrett Marker in 1:39 on the Broncs’ home mat Saturday afternoon, Sheridan friends, family and fans held up pieces of paper with “150” printed on each in different colors and fonts. The celebration of the 138-pound match victory lasted only a minute before the next varsity wrestler took the mat, but SHS Activities and Athletics Director Don Julian took the time after the dual meet to call attention over the sound system to Osborne’s 150th high school career victory.

“It was a dream come true kind of, so I’m really excited about that” Osborne said. “And I had no idea there was going to be a bunch of signs, so that was a cool surprise.”

Osborne’s win served as Sheridan’s fifth of the afternoon, and the Broncs beat the Trojans 44-26 with six pins. The victory over the reigning back-to-back 4A State Champions bodes well for Sheridan, as the North East Regional competition approaches Feb. 20 and the state tournament looms at the end of the month.
