Douglas center Hunter Morris puts up a shot against a Grants Pass defender Saturday at DHS.
WINNEMUCCA — Kyle Rudy claimed the 138-pound title to lead Carson to a seventh-place finish at the annual Cody Louck Invitational on Saturday at the Winnemucca Fairgrounds.
Jesse Case placed third at 182, Ariel Vega was third at 106 and Ty Evans placed fourth at 195.
Spanish Springs won the event with 288.5 followed by Lowry’s blue team 170, Lovelock 130.5, Fernley 127, Elko 118, Yerington 106, Carson 105, Reed 104 and Battle Mountain 103.
Rudy, who is 10-1 on the season, pinned Yerington’s Dante Reviglio in the finals.
“Kyle did really well,” Carson coach Nick Redwine said. “It seems like he’s figured out his offense a little bit and was really aggressive in all of his matches.
“He still has a lot to work on to get where we want him, but if he keeps working hard in practice I think we will be able to get him there. A big test will be the TOC this coming weekend.”
Case, meanwhile, was knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten. He did pin Aleki Pool of Sparks to finish third.
Vega, a freshman, beat Declan McClary, 5-0 for third place.
The annual TOC is Friday and Saturday at the Reno Event Center. It is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the country, and teams from Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, California and New Mexico are all entered.
