For his first three years of high school, it seemed Matt Webster could pin anyone. Unfortunately, that included himself a few times. Until his senior year at Jefferson, it looked as if Webster’s career might be best remembered for the matches he did not win.
The ones where he made critical mistakes at the most pivotal of times. However, Webster set out to prove to everyone what kind of wrestler he is. In the 2025-26 season, he went 46-9 and finished third in the recent Division II 215-pound weight class of the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Wrestling Tournament n Columbus.
At the Schottenstein Center, Webster’s only blemish was a loss in the semifinals to Bishop Watterson’s Michael Boyle, a three-time state champion, and future Ohio State Buckeye. To cap everything else he accomplished along the way, Websted has been named Ashtabula County Wrestler of the Year for the 2025-26 campaign. Now that it’s all said and done, Webster said winning the award was something he didn’t expect, but from the beginning of the season, he knew he had some unfinished business from the past to take care of.
