Left out of the 1A field in the automatic qualifications in the spring, the South Adams Starfires, the last team invited to this year’s event, were rewarded with an impressive #5 seed after a great two opening months to the season and coach Robert Loshe’s team will face Southmont in the opening round at Rochester Saturday.
The seeds were announced live on WZBD during a special edition of High School Wrestling Weekly.
The bracket sets up the Stars for a quarterfinal showdown with Tell City, the defending 1A champions. An upset victory there would pit SA against rival Adams Central in the semifinals. When the two teams met earlier in the season, AC won 42-36.
Starfire fans can follow their team throughout the day Saturday at Rochester as WZBD will bring Adams County the entire tournament on the WZBD Radio YouTube Channel.
