TIGERS FALL TO SEAHAWKS 46-28

By Kevin Phillips

NORTH EAST-In the second event of Friday’s tri-meet occurred between Rising Sun and Stephen Decatur, and in a highly competitive match, the host Tigers fell 46-28 to the Seahawks, who earned nine total victories.

Rising Sun earned five victories, four via pinfall, and they still had a chance to win the meet with victories in the final two matches, but

Stephen Decatur clinched victory with two pinfall victories, bringing their total of five total pinfall victories.

Tiger head coach Seth Garvin felt his team had a chance to pull off the rally, but they could not get the results they needed.

“It came down to a couple matches. In the 126 pound match, our kid was right in the match, but he got pinned. That was a nine-point swing,” Garvin said. “There were a couple of matches that were close. In the 138-pound match, it was really close, and the kid we wrestled won the War at the Shore a couple of weeks ago and is ranked in the top 5. It was a good match but not the result we wanted.”

Rising Sun got pinfall victories from Tyler Garvin at 113 pounds, Connor Dube at 145 pounds, Mason Testerman at 185 pounds and Elijah Far at 120 pounds, and Xzavier Brown earned a 13-1 majority decision at 120 pounds for the Tigers’ other victory.

The win over the Tigers was the Seahawks second of the evening as they defeated C. Milton Wright by the score of 61-9 as Stephen Decatur won 12 of 14 matches, including via pinfall.
