Freshman Sabino Portella (160) became the Caseys’ first region champion since heavyweight Mike Conte in 1983. He is just the fourth region champion and third wrestler to win a region title in RBC history. Tom Seitz won two region titles in 1973 and 74 and won the 1974 108-pound state championship.
Portella, who was the No. 8 seed when the tournament began, was also named the tournament's most outstanding wrestler.
