Avon Lake tri.

To make up for a snow day, the match with Avon Lake and Admiral King was moved to Feb. 4th. The meet was held at Southview High School in Lorain because of conflicts at all participating schools. We dropped two lopsided decisions in this tri. mostly due to forfeits, but also due to some bad wrestling. Avon Lake was victorious by a 46-21 score in a match where we saw one of our wrestlers pin himself when he was in control of the match. Against Admiral King, we dropped a 42-19 match. 

Week 5 Results Pt.2

After a disappointing result the night before, the Panthers got back on track by defeating three opponents at home the next day. They started with a 37-27 defeat of Collinwood, followed up by a 45-24 victory over Shaw, then ended with a 36-12 win over Trinity. The team has not lost a home meet in 5 years. This was a needed sweep to build up our confidence again.

The team traveled to Avon Lake to take on North Olmsted and Columbia on Jan. 30th. The team is battling even though they had to forfeit 6 weight classes.
