Eli Colyer (1-1) took a 4-1 advantage after the first period, at 125, on a pair of takedowns, but Dan Oberman came back with a reversal and three-point nearfall in the middle stanza tro jump into a 6-4 lead and then traded two takedowns for two Colyer escapes in the third period for a 10-6 win to close out the dual meet.
“Even some of our experienced kids went out and lost today,” commented B-A coach Ron Wilson. “There were probably four or five matches that we could have won that we came out on the short end. I think the more they get into competition, the more they settle in, we won’t lose many of those kind of matches.We know where we need to go. It will come, we just need some time.”
In the junior high match, the Blue Devils won four of five to jump out to a 30-9 lead. Northern Bedford attempted to come back, even taking a temporary 35-30. Bellwood-Antis picked up a fall at 138, that pushed the Blue Devils back into the lead again and received three forfeits at the end of the match to insure the victory.
Ben Martinez (250), Danny Noye (85), Levi Hollen (155), Caleb Stevens (185) and Jim Watters (210) picked up wins by forfeit. Adam Davinsizer (95), Tyler McCracken (100), Buddy Shaw (105) and Kyle Canfield (145) pinned their opponents.
