A familiar face to Chautauqua County wrestling fans led St. Francis to a team title at the Southern Tier Wrestling Officials Association Tournament this weekend at Jamestown Community College.

Tavio Hoose, a junior wrestling for the Red Raiders, won the 190-pound weight class with a 22-6 technical fall at the 2:33 mark of his championship bout.
