Jagger and Dagen Condomitti are continuing a long tradition of standout wrestling brothers for Northampton. They are both looking put their names on the wall of the Konkrete Kids’ wrestling room by becoming district champions this weekend.

Jagger, a junior and University of Nebraska commit, has already cemented his place in K-Kids’ lore by notching over 100 career match victories and scoring an unforgettable win over Beca’s Ryan Anderson, the nation’s #1 ranked 145-pound wrestler, in last year’s state team dual meet final.

Dagen, a freshman, is 27-7 in his first varsity season and regarded as one of the favorites at 126 pounds at this week’s District XI 3A individual championship.

Jagger offered an appraisal of the brothers’ styles.

“I think we’re kind of similar in our wrestling,” he said. “He’s a little hesitant on his offense, I was a little hesitant on mine my freshman year.”

After the graduation of last year’s stellar senior class, the team’s leadership fell to Jagger as the lone returning state qualifier. Dagen noted that it has impacted his role as an older brother too.

“If I do something wrong, he’s like, ‘Hey, why are you doing that’ just to check in to see if I’m making the right choices,” he said.

Dagen is optimistic about his chances this weekend.

“I think I might do pretty good,” he said. “My goal is to win districts. It will be tough because there’s a bunch of good kids there.”

While there might be a bunch of good kids at 126, there’s one wrestler who is top of mind for Jagger at 145, Beca’s Cole Handlovic.

“Last year I had Anderson (in his bracket), he was #1 in the country,” he said. “Cole is 4. It’s a little different, but I stood my ground against #1, I should be able to do it against #4.”

Handlovic won their only prior meeting 3-0 in the final of the Escape the Rock tournament last month.

Jagger summarized what he loves about wrestling.

“Your teammates,” he said. “The guys you’re with every single day. It forms family bonds. And then winning. Everybody loves winning. If you don’t like winning, this isn’t a sport for you.”

The tournament starts on Friday at 4 p.m. at Liberty High School. The quarterfinals are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, also at Liberty, the morning session starts at 9 a.m. with the semifinals scheduled for 10:30 a.m. The evening session starts at 4 p.m. with the consolation finals. The championship finals start at 5:30 p.m. with the parade of champions. The Friday and Saturday morning sessions have $4 tickets for students and seniors. For the finals, everyone pays the adult session price of $7.
