At the district wrestling meet at Lindbergh High School on Feb. 10-11, three OHS wrestlers qualified for state, including heavyweight Jimmy Broderick (11).
Entering districts, Broderick was 40-3 and ranked fifth in the state among heavyweights.
At districts, Broderick finished 3-1, placing second in his weight class. This was a big improvement from being eliminated early in districts last season.
“This is awesome considering it’s coach Wymore’s last year coaching for us,” Broderick said. “I’m glad I could go out and make him proud for his last year.”
The state wrestling tournament will be held at Mizzou in Columbia, MO on Feb. 16-18.
![Coach Rodney Gerdes stands with the golf team at state. "[I coach and teach at OHS because] there were teacher openings. It came with the fact there were a bunch of coaching positions...I said 'I'll coach anything' to get a job as a teacher," Gerdes said. He has been coaching and teaching since he got out of college over 20 years ago.](https://myohsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_4629-1200x900.jpeg)
