DES MOINES — After Dreshaun Ross’ semifinal victory on Friday at the state wrestling meet, all he wanted to talk about was his friend’s route to the championship round.

Ross is still on a direct track to becoming Fort Dodge’s third three-time champion. The junior superstar has spent very little time on the mat this week, as he continues to knock out opponents in the first round on his way to another final.

In his three victories at 215 pounds, Ross (19-0) has been on the mat for just four minutes and 17 seconds comibined. In last year’s title run, he was on the mat for six minutes and 39 seconds.

Ross has accumulated 41 points in his last two matches — the most recent being a 20-4 technical fall over third-seeded Kolby Gibbons of Johnston.

“Dreshaun is such a humble kid and cares more about his teammates than he does his own success,” said FDSH head coach Bobby Thompson. “After Koy’s match (an SV-1 win over No. 2 seed JahKari Clark of West Des Moines Valley), he ran over and congratulated him. That is a reflection of who Dreshaun is. He is a big team guy.

“We go to the tunnel with Koy, and it’s pure excitement. Dreshaun was fired up.”

Ross extended his streak to 103 consecutive wins, and alongside Davidson, became just the sixth Dodger ever to reach three state finals.
