After winning the 6A title at 182 pounds last year, Landon Marsh aims for gold at 190.
Kaden Glass, Pieper :Landon Marsh, New Braunfels :Eric Morales, Burbank :No. 2 seed at 6A 132 pounds.Sandoval said Marsh would have likely wrestled at 195, one of the former weight divisions, had they not changed.
Marsh is the second wrestler from New Braunfels to win a state title. His older brother George won the 285-pound 6A championship two years ago as a senior. Marsh has wrestled for 11 years. When he was younger, he had to cut weight to qualify for matches. When he got to high school, Marsh didn’t have to do that as much. That allowed him to wrestle without sacrificing strength.
“To win as a freshman at the upper weights is pretty tough because you get older, mature guys,” Sandoval said. “That showed his competitive nature, and it continued to show throughout his four years.”“If they are a good competitor, they’re built almost similar to me,” Marsh said. “It’s like looking in a mirror. It’s just good, physical competition.”
