At 169-0, four-time state champ earns spot among Idaho’s all-time great wrestlers

Any debate is over. Post Falls senior Ridge Lovett will go down as one of the greatest high school wrestlers in Idaho history. The Nebraska signee capped his undefeated career with a 2-1 victory over Centennial’s Ryan Wilson on Saturday at Pocatello’s Holt Arena. The 5A 145-pound championship gave Lovett his fourth consecutive state title and boosted his career record to 169-0, making him just the fourth Idaho wrestler to finish his career in Idaho’s highest classification undefeated. “It’s just amazing to be in there with those guys,” Lovett said. “It’s just a dream come true.” Lovett moved up in weight classes to 145 pounds to chase Wilson, whom he traveled with to the Fargo national championships last year. The Centennial senior gave Lovett one of his toughest matches to date, holding a 1-0 lead entering the third round.
