On a night where Bethlehem Catholic's Zeke Moisey won his fourth district wrestling title, Liberty freshman K.J. Fenstermacher got his first one.

Fenstermacher ran through the 113-pound category with ease, as nobody came within five points of him, concluding his dominant stretch through the tournament with a 9-1 decision over Pottsville's Luke Gardner in the championship finals Saturday night to become the first Liberty freshman ever to win districts.

As he's been a staple at Memorial Gymnasium over the years watching districts since his youth, winning his first district title was a special moment, which was coupled with him winning the outstanding wrestler award too.

"During the parade of champions it was really cool because I've been around here since second grade watching this every year," Fenstermacher said. "I just hope that this is first of many titles. I really do envision myself winning four of these [district titles] and it's just a great feeling to get the first one."

Fenstermacher did all of this with two broken hands, as he needs three pins in his right hand after the season. His left hand is fractured as well, but that won't need surgery.

"I have my hands taped during matches and it really doesn't hurt so much," he said. "[Mike] Scheetz was really pulling back on my hands [during an 8-3 semifinal win] and I could feel it then, but for the most part, when you have the adrenaline going through you in a match, it doesn't hurt."

Fenstermacher wasn't the only Hurricane to land in the finals, as senior Jake Gunning won his first district championship as well, topping Parkland's Omar Haddad 1-0.

Gunning rode out Haddad in the second period and earned the only point of the match in the third period with an escape, to transform a once 0-23 freshman into a district champion his senior year.

"We knew this match would come down to a point or two and for the past couple weeks I've been practicing my work on top and bottom," Gunning said. "It's a big win, but with regionals next week, I want to win that and on top of that I want to win a state title too. It's all about the next step for now."

Liberty finished second in the team standings with 158.5 points to trail team champion Nazareth (242.5), but the Hurricanes advanced seven wrestlers to regionals, including Luke Werner (106, fourth), Kevin Knox (160, fourth), Noah Klingborg (170, fourth), Orlando Miller (195, third) and Andrew Gunning (HWT, fourth).

Freedom advanced three wrestlers to regionals, as Dylan Brown (106, second), Jonah Zych (120, fourth) and John Callahan (182, fifth) medaled.

Brown lost to Tyson Klump in overtime by a 5-2 score in the tie-breaker to fall in the finals.

"I was trying to get out and maybe get a reversal there and then all of sudden he was getting back points," said Brown of the skirmish that cost him gold in the tie-breaker. "In the back of my mind, I always had a vision of winning [districts], but there's nothing I can do now. With regionals coming up, it's a new tournament and new things can happen."
