WRESTLING: Ilion's Cook gets top seed for Class C Tournament

Ilion sophomore Laken Cook is a No. 1 seed heading into Saturday’s Class C tournament as he attempts to win a fourth Section III class title.

Cook and his Ilion teammates head to Sherburne-Earlville to compete with teams from 11 other schools, including Center State Conference champion Canastota and two other once-beaten squads, Holland Patent and General Brown.

Cook is seeded atop the 113-pound division with a 28-5 record. He previously won class title in C as a seventh-grader at 96 pounds and B as an eighth-grader at 96 pounds and as a freshman at 103.

Other high seeds for Ilion include Brandon Yager (third at 285 pounds), Bryan Bennett (fifth at 145) and Cook’s brother Landry (sixth at 152).

Holland Patent has three No. 1 seeds, including brothers Alex and Matt Herringshaw at 99 and 132 pounds, respectively. General Brown, Adirondack and Canastota also have three No. 1 seeds. Adirondack’s Pat Webster is the top seed in two classes.

General Brown (third), Holland Patent (seventh) and Canastota (15th) are all ranked among the state’s top 15 Division II teams.
