Fondy’s Donte Johnson captures OTW title

OSHKOSH – It wasn’t hard to see that Donte Johnson was going to use everything in his wrestling arsenal against Ripon’s Cody Jacobson.

At one point, the Fond du Lac heavyweight – all 265 pounds or so – resorted to making a leaping attempt at grabbing a headlock.

“That’s what happens when you’re a 5-11 heavyweight and you have to wrestle against 6-5 guys,” Johnson said with a smile.

Johnson’s all-out effort carried him to a victory on Friday in a matchup of unbeaten, state-ranked heavyweights as the Cardinals senior captured the title in a loaded bracket at the two-day On The Water Classic which concluded Friday at the Kolff Sports Center on the UW-Oshkosh campus.

Although the leaping headlock didn’t actually work for Johnson, the Fond du Lac heavyweight was able to stick the larger Jacobson. He took Jacobson down and right to his back with about 15 seconds left in the match and was able to maneuver for a pin with one second left on the clock.

“I got him in a body lock and from there it was just mental toughness and hard work, I guess,” said Johnson, the No. 2 ranked heavyweight in Division 1 by Wisconsin Wrestling Online. “It was a tight one. We had to get it at some point, it just happened to be the last 10 seconds of the match.”

The two highly touted wrestlers – Jacobson is ranked No. 1 in Division 2 – were both cautious at the start of the bout and battled to a scoreless first period.

Johnson would take a 2-1 lead at the start of the second, but with both wrestlers back on their feet neither seemed willing to make a big mistake.

“I was trying to work some things,” Johnson said. “He’s a really good wrestler. I had to be sure before I did something otherwise I was going to be in big trouble.”

After conquering a heavyweight division where the top five finishers entered the tournament with a combined five losses, Johnson was certainly riding high and looking forward to the rest of the season.

“It feels awesome,” Johnson said. “Of course, it’s a big confidence boost. I came in fourth last year so it’s a big jump and I’m really proud of it.”

In addition to Johnson’s title, Fond du Lac had a trio of placewinners at the tournament. Garrett Sphatt finished 6-2 to place seventh at 220 pounds, while Colton Wasieleski finished eighth at 195 pounds. Anthony Hedrix added a 12th place at 132 pounds for the Cardinals.

Coleman claimed the title with 333 points, while Lomira finished with 267½. Hortonville was third with 252 points, followed by Oconto Falls (249½) and Random Lake (245). The Lions’ previous best finish at the tournament had been eighth place.
