State Medalists, Unbeaten Fall Champs Head to The Canfield Fall Open
CANFIELD, OH — OhioQuest heads to Mahoning County this Saturday, November 7, for The Canfield Fall Open at Canfield High School. With two days left to register, better than 300 wrestlers are expected, and competitors from 52 clubs across Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York are already entered. This is a look at some of the competitors currently registered, with many more to follow.
As always, this will be a lightning-fast tournament. Most weight classes should finish in two hours or less, so families get in, wrestle and get home.
The season’s winningest in the building
Travis Chapman comes in at 12-1 this season. Only four of the 509 wrestlers who have competed on the OhioQuest/PennQuest circuit this fall have more wins. He has titles at Stow and Rootstown, 10 of his 12 wins came by bonus points (4 pins, 5 tech falls), and he’ll be one of the names to watch in Open HS.
Unbeaten and looking to stay that way
Four entrants haven’t lost on the circuit this season:
- Aiden Creque (Streetsboro) is 5-0 with 12U titles at Streetsboro and Rootstown. He has 4 pins, and his fastest came in 16 seconds.
- Zaid Atallah (Brookfield Warriors) is 4-0. He won the 8U title at Boardman, pins in as little as 25 seconds, and was a 2026 state runner-up.
- Ryder Glass (Donahue Wrestling Academy) is 4-0 and won the 10U title at Stow.
- Nolan Huska (All American) is 4-0 and won the MS title at Boardman.
State champions in the field
Two 2026 OhioQuest state champions are entered so far:
- Leo Key (South Range) won the Div II Novice state title at 46 and moves up to Open 8U this weekend.
- Caden Palmer (Palmer) won the Div III Novice state title at 54 and is entered in Open 10U.
The host club shows up big
Canfield is the biggest team in the building so far with 20 entries. Raegan Lucas leads them. She was a 2026 OhioQuest State Championships medalist (3rd, Girls Div IV) and won the Girls 12U title at the Boardman Kickoff Classic. State placers Averie Bourgerie and Layla Doran also wrestle for the hometown Cardinals.
More fall champions
- KJ Allen (Field) is 4-1 with Open HS titles at Stow and Rootstown.
- Nico Lallo (North Royalton) won HS at Streetsboro. His 5 pins are tied for 15th-most on the circuit.
- Ryan Earls (Titan) won Rookie 12U at Rootstown.
- Kade Lutz (Southeast) is one of the busiest wrestlers on the circuit. His 9 wins rank in the top 15 this fall, and he was a state placer last spring.
Blink and you’ll miss it: Hunter Davis (Boardman Spartans) has the second-fastest pin of the entire season at 8 seconds.
Brackets to watch
OhioQuest builds weight classes after registration closes, so nothing is set yet. Still, a few groups could be loaded:
- Open HS (~118 lbs): Travis Chapman (12-1) and KJ Allen (4-1) each have two fall titles, and they registered one pound apart.
- Open 8U (~58–60 lbs): Two 2026 state runners-up, unbeaten Zaid Atallah and Rowen Musch (Surgeons), registered within two pounds of each other.
- Girls 12U: Averie Bourgerie and Ariadna Jimenez (Red Rose) finished 5th and 6th in the same state bracket last spring, and both are entered.
- Open 12U (~146–148 lbs): Unbeaten Aiden Creque could see Tanner Ostavitz (Boardman Spartans).
