Three members of the Southern High School wrestling team returned to Garrett County this past weekend with individual state high school wrestling championships under their belts. The center podium was a familiar spot for both Jakob “Bubba” Scheffel, above left, and Lex Ozias, above right, as these were the third consecutive titles earned by each of them in their careers as Southern Rams. Gaining what could be the first of multiple state championships was Ram freshman Coy Ozias, brother of Lex, who is pictured below (click on the photos above to make photo visible) just after winning his title bout. Scheffel and Lex Ozias also now have the distinction of holding the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, for the total number of career wins by any public school wrestler in the history of Maryland.
