Forget stopping Montini.

The Broncos lost just 1 match as they cruised past the competition during Saturday's Suburban Catholic Conference Mega Duals wrestling meet at St. Edward. The meet, which acts as a conference meet but has each of the teams square off in dual format instead of using a tournament, was a Montini showcase.

The Broncos defeated host St. Edward 80-0, Marian Central 84-0, Aurora Central Catholic 78-0, Driscoll 77-0 and Marmion 64-3.

"We had a really good effort," Broncos' coach Mike Bukovsky said. "We wanted to make sure we came out focused. Garrett kept rolling."

Heavyweight Garrett Goebel certainly did.

The senior, who has inked to play football with Ohio State in the fall, went a perfect 5-0 on the day securing pins against St. Edward's Shane Finnane (0:36), Marmion's Connor English (0:38) and Marian Central's Cody O'Neill (0:43). Goebel, who is the No. 1 heavyweight according to illinoismatmen.com, also picked up a pair of forfeits against Driscoll and Aurora Central Catholic. The senior's efforts allowed him to secure the conference MVP, which was awarded after the meet.

"Coming in here our goal was to win the conference," Goebel said. "All of our guys stayed focused throughout the day. We had a lot of guys step up."
