Christian Otzenberger will be the No. 1 seed in the 170-class at the LHSAA Division III State Wrestling Meet at the Raising Cane’s River Center in Baton Rouge this Friday and Saturday.
Otzenberger (28-8) comes in after capturing the 170 crown at the North Lousiana Regional Championship at North Desoto High School in Stonewall, LA. The Calvary wrestler received a first-round bye. In the semifinals, Otz pinned Jacob Costen in the first period. The championship match was against Brendon Earnest from Parkway.
Otzenberger last year made the podium with a third-place finish in the 160 class at state.
