Hollidaysburg took the early lead in the Tyrone/Golden Tigers wrestling dual on Thursday evening, but the Eagles quickly turned the tables on Hollidaysburg, winning eight of the next nine weight classes on the way to a 45-30 triumph.
With the dual beginning at 215, Jacob Walls gave Hollidaysburg a 6-0 advantage by pinning Corey Barnhart (2-14) in 12 seconds of the second period.
Eagle heavyweight Dalaun Carroll began the turnaround by pinning Keenan Harklerode in 2:39 to tie the team score. After a scoreless opening period, Carroll (4-10) took Harklerode down, and turned him for the fall.
Ronnie Garbinsky (22-1) received a forfeit win at 103, to put the Eagles into a lead they never relinquished.
A. J. Schopp (23-2) used a first-period takedown and two-point nearfall, a penalty point in the second period, and a five-point reversal-nearfall in the third stanza for a 10-0 major decision over Steve Shiffler at 112. Chase Weaver (8-11) and Robbie Sellers (9-11) continued the string with a pair of first-period pins at 119, and 125. Weaver decked Dewey Dempsie in 1:25, while Sellers gave up the first takedown, before escaping and putting Jimmie Dalgarn on his back for the fall at 1:59.
At 130, Anthony Romano (21-5) made it nine in a row and 15 of his last 17 matches by shutting out Stefan Housum 7-0. In the third battle of the season between these two wrestlers, Romano improved to 2-1 to avenge a 4-2 loss at the Zeigler Tournament with a takedown in each of the first two stanzas, then a penalty point for a technical violation and two back points in the third period.
Hollidaysburg 135-pounder Evan McCaffrey pinned Cody Weaver (13-9) for the only points by the Tigers in the nine-match stretch.
At 140, James Weston (7-14) scored a first period takedown that was the difference in a 4-2 win over Derek Heisler, and the two wrestlers traded third-period reversals. Jeremy Barlett (15-6) collected a takedown, reversal and four sets of nearfall points to tech fall Damian Lascoli at 145, to push the Eagles’ lead to 39-12.
Tyrone forfeited to Daniel Albright at 151, and Golden Tiger Ryan Colmer pinned Cody Smith (1-16) in 0:25 at 160, before the teams ended the dual by exchanging falls.
At 171, Shayne Tate (18-5) pinned Austin Fradeneck in 2:16, before Shawn Flaugh pinned Dustin Weaver (0-19) in 0:54 at 189.
Tyrone won the junior high dual meet 68-27 in a match that had only six matches decided on the mat.
Tyler Osterhout (110) had the only pin. Corbin Nevling-Ray (138) won by tech fall, and Andrew Warrender (115), Caleb Snyder (130), and Derek Dasher won by regular decision.
Kirby Lawrence (250), Zack Brown (80), D.J. Wunder (85), Dylan Weston (90), Colton Weaver (95), Mark McMonigal (100), Michael Sleeth (105) and Christian Getz (122) won by forfeit.
In the only weight class won on the mat by Hollidaysburg, former Tyrone student Lukas McCloskey won a 7-2 decision.
