Sandwich <\/a>senior Cooper Corder won his second consecutive 150-pound title, and Yorkville Christian senior Jackson Allen won his second straight title during Saturday\u2019s 42nd annual Plano Reaper Classic.<\/p>\n

Allen won by fall against Marmion junior Luke Boersma at 3:12 for the 215-pound championship. Last year, Allen won at 190.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew this guy was a good kid,\u201d Allen said. \u201cLast year I faced him and I wasn\u2019t very happy with my performance. This year I wanted to really make a statement especially against a high-ranked kid like that. I went in there with intent and knew I could get it done and did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley (261.5) won with 261.5 points and was followed by St. Rita (218.5), Yorkville Christian (202), Marquette Academy (152) and Sandwich (147) to round out the top five among the diverse 22-team field.<\/p>\n

It was Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley\u2019s first Reaper title since 2016.<\/p>\n

Allen was among 11 placers for the Mustangs but their lone champion. Phoenix Senodenos (113) and Ryan Alaimo (138) placed second .<\/p>\n

Davin Torza (106), Ryan Festerling Jr. (120) and Tyler Gleason (190) were fourth, Adrian Wadas-Luis (144) and Austin Wadas-Luis (150) were fifth and Christian Sandoval (126), Henry Fox (165) and Hayden Wheeler (285) claimed sixth.<\/p>\n

\"Yorkville<\/p>\n

Plano Reaper Classic Boys Wrestling tournament Yorkville Christian’s Jackson Allen wins his 1st place match at 215lbs in the Plano Reaper Classic Boys Wrestling tournament Saturday Dec. 13, 2025 in Plano. (Gary E Duncan Sr. for Shaw Local)<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely not as good as we could\u2019ve been,\u201d Allen said. \u201cWe had a lot of drawbacks where we shouldn\u2019t have, a lot of matches we should\u2019ve won that we lost. We\u2019re definitely working toward the end of the season. We\u2019ll have a hard practice on Monday for sure. Coach isn\u2019t happy with the performance. We got to put in the work, got to climb those ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corder (9-0) picked up a quick pin in his quarterfinal win before a tech fall over Kaneland\u2019s Colten Heltsley in the semis. He picked up another tech fall win in the final over Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley\u2019s Hunter Brandon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew the Gibson City kid was decent,\u201d Corder said. \u201cI went in with the same mindset as I always do, \u2018I\u2019m going to wrestle my style and put the pace on him and do what I can.\u2019 And I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m happy with how it went, but a win is a win. And I wanted to get it done in the first period but second period tech, can\u2019t complain, I was happy with it.<\/p>\n

He had a pair of teammates also advance to the finals, but Joshua Kotalik (175) and Kaden Clevenger (285) came up short in their respective title matches. Sandwich also received team points from Kai Kern (175) placing fourth and Connor Blanchard (120) and Jacob Cassie (144) taking sixth.<\/p>\n

The Marquette Crusaders were able to sneak past Sandwich into fourth place, namely because of Dakota Harmon (106), Reily Leifheit (175) and Alex Schaefer (285) winning titles. They matched the three produced by Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely didn\u2019t wrestle how I wanted to,\u201d Leifheit said of his major decision in the final. \u201cIt was sloppy, but that kid (Kotalik) was pretty strong. He just kept locking straight into me, so I just blasted him. The other (matches) were pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marmion had a split squad with many of its wrestlers competing in Ohio at Ironman, but of the nine it brought to Sandwich, seven placed, including freshman Brody Page (120) and junior Logan Conover (138) who won titles. Boersma placed second and juniors Ethan Bell (113), Adam Kopcio (144) and Alex Korpan (157) were third.<\/p>\n

Conover earned a 10-2 major over Yorkville Christian\u2019s Ryan Alaimo in his title match.<\/p>\n

Plainfield Central\u2019s Ty Sabin earned a major against St. Rita\u2019s James Bansley to claim the 190 title.<\/p>\n

The host Reapers top placer was Shane Downs (132) who took fourth.
