Four Blue Raiders advance to NAIE Wrestling semifinals By Christopher Coombs Park City, KS - The Lindsey Wilson wrestling team sits in third place with 64.5 points following the first day of the NAIA National Championship. Four Blue Raiders are still alive in the championship bracket as five LWC grapplers will make an appearance on the second day of action. Derrick Smallwood, Tyler Hall, Trevor Lawson and Brandon Reed all managed perfect records to advance to the semifinals in their respective weight classes. Trajan Hurd dropped one match but made his way through the consolation bracket to compete Saturday. All five Blue Raiders will earn NAIA All-American honors. Smallwood (No. 2 at 157) punched his ticket to the semifinals first as he opened his day with a pin over Enis Ida of Texas Wesleyan at 4:11. He then downed Reinhardt's Cole Luallen on an 11-4 decision before he recorded an 8-2 decision over Israel Casarez of Graceland (No. 7 at 157). He is set to face Grand View's Giovanni Bonilla (No. 3 at 157) tomorrow morning for a spot in the championship match. Hall (No. 4 at 184) opened his day with a 3-0 decision over Niko Perovic of Williams Baptist. He then defeated Hans Evatt of Truett McConnell on a 13-5 major decision. Hall then punched his ticket to the semifinals with a close 4-3 tie breaker-one win over No. 12 David Richardson of Campbellsville. He will face Tyson Beauperthy (No. 9 at 184) of Midland next. After a bye to open Lawson's (No. 2 at 197) day, he won on a 10-1 major decision over Caleb Shanks of Briar Cliff before downing Jack Servies (No. 10 at 197) of Marian on a 6-1 decision. He will take on Antonio Stewart (No. 10 at 197) of Reinhart tomorrow morning in the semifinals. Reed made easy work of his opponents on the first day of competition in the heavyweight class. The No. 1-ranked wrestler picked up three consecutive pins. His pins came against Ethan Bunce of Marian, KC Buday of Providence and Joel Faglier of Brewton Parker in 1:35, 2:35 and 1:49, respectively. He will face Cumberland's Patrick Depiazza (No. 4 at HW) in the semifinals. Hurd opened his day with a 7-3 decision over Myles Starke of Life before falling to the consolation bracket with a loss to Drew Sams (No. 6 at 184) of Graceland on a 7-1 decision. He kept his tournament alive with a 9-6 decision over Gabe Jacobs of Cumberlands. He is set to face Ben Lee (No. 3 at 184) of Grand View tomorrow. Sam Bacon finished the championship with a 2-2 record. He dropped his opening match of the day to No. 10 Taylor Vasquez of Morningside but bounced back with a pin over Josh Wright of Williams Baptist in 1:34. He added another pin over Xavier Sampsel of Graceland, at the 6:13 mark of the match. His day ended when he dropped a 9-1 major decision to No. 4 Nick Kunz of Montana State-Northern. No. 1-seed Trent Johnson opened his day with a 4-2 decision over Jonathan McGowan of Oklahoma City.
