Garaway wrestling finishes 16th at Perrysburg Invitational Tournament

Garaway finished 16th at the Perrysburg Invitational, a rugged two-day tournament held at Perrysburg High School that wrapped up Jan. 14, 2026. The Pirates sent several competitors through a deep field and secured four individual placers against regional competition, an outcome that will inform lineup decisions and provide experience ahead of the postseason.

Leading Garaway was Mitchell Tetreault, who wrestled to a fourth-place finish at 150 pounds. Heavyweight Bobby Bowers took fifth, while Bryce Books placed seventh at 106 pounds and Colton Domer finished eighth at 165. Those four placements accounted for Garaway’s scoring at the event and highlighted strength at several weight classes across the lineup.

The Perrysburg Invitational is known for its rigorous pairings and tournament format that tests depth over consecutive days. Competing in that environment gave Garaway’s underclassmen and starters extended mat time against opponents from across the region, an important measure for coaches plotting strategies for upcoming duals and postseason sectionals. The team photo of Colton Domer captured the intensity of the meet and underscored the physical and tactical work Garaway wrestlers faced on the mat.

For Holmes County wrestling fans, the invitational results offer a mixed but constructive picture. Individual placings show pockets of competitiveness that can be built on, while the overall team finish reflects the challenges of depth when facing multiple large programs in one bracketed event. Coaches will likely use match film and head-to-head results from Perrysburg to adjust lineups, address weight-class matchups and prioritize conditioning as the season progresses.

Beyond immediate coaching decisions, the meet serves as a community touchpoint for the Pirates’ season trajectory. Local supporters tracking sectional seeding and potential district outcomes will watch how the experiences and adjustments from Perrysburg translate into regular-season duals and the run-up to postseason tournaments.

As the season moves forward, Garaway’s wrestlers will carry the lessons and mat minutes gained at Perrysburg into practices and upcoming matches. Those building blocks matter for individual growth and for the team’s ability to convert competitive experience into wins when local and regional stakes rise.
