GHS Dominates District Swims By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Winning 13 of 22 events and earning 33 individual and six relay berths for the regional championships, Georgetown dominated the District 18-5A Swimming Meet on Friday at the Georgetown Recreation Center. In the nine-school competition, GHS outscored Brenham, 157-114, in the girls team race and bested the Cubs, 160-110, in boys competition; East View was third in both team chases. The Patriots girls rolled up 81 points, and the boys posted 89. Despite Georgetown’s strong performance, awards for the top male and female swimmer went to Brenham junior Hudson

EV’s Parks Named Top Girls Performer Smith and East View sophomore Emilie Parks, who were among the six double individual event winners in the competition. However, Georgetown-East View head coach Tim Pukys and assistant Ginger LaRaisa were selected as the boys and girls coaches of the meet. The first six finishers in each of the events advance to the Region V-5A Swimming and Diving Meet at the Texas A&M Student Recreation Center in College Station on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 5-6. “Awesome -- really great,” Pukys said after the final results were announced. “Our kids (from both schools) swam great.

Almost all of them improved their times.” To put the local dominance of the meet more in perspective, athletes from GHS, East View and Gateway combined to capture 76 of the 131 available individual and relay berths. Gateway’s Gators finished fourth among boys teams with 74 points, and were fifth in girls action with 34 points. In addition to Parks, who is swimming her first season at East View after being at Meridian World School in Round Rock as a freshman, and Smith, double winners were -- all from GHS -- junior Rehgan Hartsell, and freshman Cierra Scully on

the girls side, and sophomore Connor Lancaster and freshman Greyson Alarcon in the boys competition. Parks claimed the 200-yard freestyle by 2.21 seconds with a time of one minute, 56.95 seconds and won the 500 free by 3.07 seconds with a 5:10.80, besting Elgin freshman Rebecca Rivers both times. “I’m really happy (with my performance) against good competition,” said Parks, who was also a key figure in the strong showing of two of the Patriots’ relays. “I’m going to regional with the goal of making state.” Smith, at times, appeared to swim in his District Swims cont. on B7

GHS Girls Roll On By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Right now, it’s all about taking care of business in the Georgetown Lady Eagles camp. In their terminology, as the District 25-5A basketball races rolls into its final five playing dates, it becomes taking care of our business. The Lady Eagles (16-9) stand with an 8-1 district record, one-game behind front-running Vista Ridge, and three games ahead of Leander and East View. Georgetown is two wins away from no worse than a second-place finish in the final standings, and still has a chance of catching the Rangers, who appear to be enjoying a promenade through 25-5A’s double-round robin. Georgetown placed itself in this position this past week with what can be considered blue-collar wins -- a 50-29 effort at Dripping Springs on Tuesday, and a strong finish in a 39-30 performance on Friday at Georgetown senior Dori Brown goes up for a layup in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 39-30 victory over Vandegrift.

Eagle Gym. But again, veteran coach Rhonda Farney’s Lady Eagles face another challenging test this week as they played Leander in the Lions Den on Tuesday night, and entertain struggling but dangerous Cedar Park (3-6) at home at 7:30 p.m. Friday night. The Leander game was extremely important. A victory would give GHS a four-game edge over the Lions with four to play and the tie-breaker on the basis of a sweep of the season series. Despite Leander’s attempt to derail GHS in the first meeting with delaying tactics, the Lady Eagles prevailed 30-25 at Eagle Gym in the final district game prior to the holiday break. After playing Leander and Cedar Park, Georgetown will travel to Marble Falls in a 7:30 p.m. battle on Tuesday, Feb. 2. One of the most important segments of Friday’s victory over the Vipers was served up on a tray -- actually six consecutive treys, if you prefer. With Georgetown leading 14-13 with six minutes and 20 seconds remaining in the third period, senior

Kendrick Clark canned her lone 3-pointer of the game to make in 17-13; but in the 36-second span, Vandegrift countered with successes beyond the arc by 6-foot-1 Kallie Roush and Bee Gonzales to regain the lead at 19-17. However, GHS sandwiched 3-pointers by Avery Kelly around one by Taylor Elliott to build a 26-19 lead. A field goal and one by Roush cut the GHS lead to 26-22 with 2:20 in the third period, but a 3-pointer by Brooke Elliott jacked the lead back to 7 at 29-22. Four free throws by Roush, who led all scorers with 18 points, concluded a span in which she scored 9 straight points for her team that cut the Lady Eagles’ lead to 31-28 with 3:10 to play. GHS had an antidote in senior Dori Brown, who put in backto-back buckets off a rebound and a steal to put Georgetown back ahead by 7 at 35-28 with just 90 seconds to play. Vandegrift could get no closer than 5 before Taylor Green and B. Elliott each made a pair of free throws to conclude the exercise. Lady Eagles cont. on B2

LADY EAGLES, FROM PAGE B1 No Lady Eagle scored in double figures with B. Elliott having 8 and Dee Day and Clark each scoring 7. The 6-1 Day had nine boards as GHS outrebounded the Vipers by 13. “It was a fun game,” Farney said of a contest against probably the most-improved team in 25-5A. “I like their (new) coach (Jonathan Jones) and I like their team, but I’m glad their moving to 6A next year. “I’m very proud of our

kids. We shot well in the second half, looked more comfortable and played good defense. We stepped it up a notch in the second half, and I have a really good feeling.” In the victory at Dripping Springs, Georgetown jumped to a 29-10 lead at the half and outscored the Lady Tigers, 21-19 in the second half. The Lady Eagles’ largest lead was 22 points when Clark opened the second half with her second 3-pointer of the

game. Clark led GHS with 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals, while Day added 10 points. Amanda O’Banan with 14 points was the only Lady Tiger with more than 5 points. The Lady Eagles, who shot 50 percent (19 of 38), limited Dripping Springs to 29 shots, posted a 25-16 edge on the boards and recorded 22 steals. “I think Brooke Elliott and Kendrick Clark

continue to play consistently well,” Farney said after the victory at Dripping Springs. “I am very pleased at the energy that Taylor Green and Taylor Elliott bring. Our entire team continues to work extremely hard in preparation for the second half of district play. We also got solid play inside from Dee Day, Avery Kelly, EJ Jones, and Dori Brown. Sandi Harris and Olivia Anderson also contributed to the win.”

East View won two pivotal 25-5A girls games by 10 points each this past week to move into a tie with Leander for third place at 5-4 and solidify its role as a contender for a state playoff berth with five district games remaining. The Patriots opened the week with a 56-46 win over Cedar Park at home and then bested Marble Falls, 54-44, on the road this past Friday despite a 28-point, 11-rebound performance by the Lady Mustangs’ 6-foot senior Reann Hall. However, East View (14-11) started a crucial week Tuesday night when it entertained Vandegrift, 4-5, and arguably the most improved team in the district. They visit first place Vista Ridge at 7:30 p.m. Friday and play host to Dripping Springs at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2. A win over Vandegrift would give the Patriots a sweep of the season series and the tie-breaker for a playoff position. Leander will attempt to stay even or move ahead of East View in a three-game span that started Tuesday when it faced second-place Georgetown in the Lions Den. The Lady Lions then visit Vandegrift on Friday and Cedar Park on Tuesday, Feb. 2. The Pats had one of their most dominating games of the season. When Emily Daniel swished a 3-pointer and sophomore post Rachel Wisian had back-to-back blocks patrolling the lane early in the first quarter the tone was set for East View’s performance. After Abby Holland drained two 3-pointers, Kim Jones hit a trey to push the Patriots to 18-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Sarah Lindsey opened the second quarter hitting a bucket followed by two field goals by Holland and Daniel, respectively, and 3-pointer from the corner by Daniel to increase the lead to 33-15 at the intermission. Holland hit two field goals in consecutive possessions to start the third quarter and the Patriots were on cruise control from that point. East View led by as many as 26 paced by Holland with 18 points, three steals and six rebounds, while Daniel added 17 points and five rebounds. Sophomore guard Diamond Morrison had eight assists. “This was definitely a team win with every player performing well in their roles,” coach Dave Walla said. On Tuesday, the Patriots avenged their first-round loss to the Cedar Park that featured a sparkling performance by Morrison. The Wolves had no answer for Morrison as she led East View with 21 points, three steals and three assists, all team highs for the game. East View steadily built its margin during the first half with Morrison making a steal and driving the length of the floor to score in the final seconds, allowing the Patriots to lead 24-at the break. The Patriots pulled away in the fourth quarter that was highlighted by sophomore Paighton Corley threading the needle with a precise pass to Wisian for a score, one of three assists for Corley in a three minute span that saw the East View push out to a 16 point lead with 3.03 left in the game. Holland contributed 14 points and seven rebounds, and Daniel had 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds. “Diamond Morrison was outstanding in all aspects,” Walla said. “Abby Holland, Emily Daniel and Rachel Wisian also performed well.”

East View played two games last week. On Tuesday night, they lost a heart-breaker 64-66 at Cedar Park on a 3-pointer at the buzzer. On Friday night, they hosted Marble Falls and came away with their first District 25-5A victory -- a 76-61 decision.

Eagles Beat Drip, Lose To Vipers by Jon Whittemore

Advocate Correspondent

Georgetown split two 25-5A games this past week, winning against Dripping Springs, 66-56, on Tuesday night and then dropping the Friday contest at Vandegrift, 44-39. The Eagles now stand at 15-10 for the season and 4-3 in district play. This past week’s results basically produced a five-team log jam between second and sixth place in the district race at the mid of the race. Vista Ridge was alone in first at 6-1 going into Tuesday’s play. Leander and Vandegrift were tied for second at 5-2, GHS and Cedar Park shared fourth at 4-3 and Dripping Springs was sixth at 3-4. The Eagles opened this week by entertaining Leander on Tuesday, visiting Cedar Park at 7:30 p.m. Friday, and hosting Marble Falls at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 2. In the win over Dripping Springs, the Eagles had three players in double figures and two more with 9 and 7, respectively, but consistently felt the scorching wrath of coach Russell Miller, who appeared incensed by the way things were going on the court. “We’re not doing what we need to do consistently,” Miller said. “Tonight it was good enough to win,

but we’ve got to pressure ourselves to get better.” The scoring parade was led by 6-foot-2 guard Kaden Herbert with 20 including a 3-pointer and 7-of-9 free throws. Sophomore ball-handler Matt Taparauskas had one of his better offensive games of the season scoring 17 points, including one 3-pointer and 8-of-9 free throws. Chandler Herman added 10 points including two 3s. Junior Beau Corrales added nine and senior Jeff McVean chipped in seven. The Eagles committed only nine turnovers and forced the Tigers into 19 miscues. The Tigers were led in scoring by 6-6 postman Ty Johnson who appeared to score at-will inside. Johnson finished with 19 points. Junior forward Cullen Young (6-4) added 17. “We really nit-pick these guys,” Miller said. “We want them to be successful and put pressure on them to improve themselves as players. We don’t want them to be just ‘good enough’ to win some but rather to be as good as they are capable of being.” In Friday’s loss at Vandegrift, neither the Vipers nor the Eagles looked particularly interested in playing. In a game decided by five points, the Eagles only went to the free throw line four times. The team hit

nine 3-pointers but only five mid-range baskets. They were an uncharacteristic 2 of 6 on free throws. The three-headed post combination of Zac Kepner, Logan Lester and Jeff Williams produced only two points (by Williams) against the Viper’s 6-foot-7 center Reeve Durrill. Even with 25-5A leading scorer Drayton Whiteside, who averages 21 points a game, held to 9 points and having an off night, the Eagles could not break the 40-point barrier. Chandler Herman led the team with 14 points but never made it to the foul line. Kaden Herbert added 10, but had only one point in the final period when the Eagles were trying to regain the lead. Forward Beau Corrales tallied 8. The Vipers had taken their first lead at 1:03 left in the third at 28-27. For the rest of the game, the Eagles knotted the score at 28-28 with 6:56 in the fourth and again at 30-30 with 5:00 remaining but never again took the lead. They got within a basket with :28 showing on the clock after back-to-back desperation 3-pointer by Herman and Brock Gonzales but Vandy was able to get Whiteside to the line and he iced the victory with clutch foul shooting.

Southwestern Women Post Two Victories

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Audrey Garcia scored 11 of her game-high 17 points in the fourth quarter to help the Southwestern women pull away from Colorado College for a 71-55 victory this past Saturday at the Robertson Center. Coupled with Friday’s 71-51 win over Centenary the Pirates were able to improve their Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and season records to 4-3 and 7-11, respectively. SU will try to continue its upward movement this weekend when it plays Centenary at 8 p.m. Friday in Shreveport and Colorado College at 3 p.m. Sunday in Colorado Springs. Garcia, who also had four rebounds, four steals, four assists and a block, hit seven free throws in the final period of the win over Colorado College. SU held a 42-41 edge as the fourth quarter started. Madison Edwards completed a traditional three-point play after drawing a foul on a layup to push the lead to four points with 8 minutes and 49 seconds to play. Two minutes later, the Tigers (2-17, 1-7 SCAC) pulled within 2 after Katie Wirth hit a jumper. The Pirates responded, reeling off a 10-2 run that was fueled by 7 points from Brianna Turney to take a 10-point lead. Colorado College was able to trim the lead to 63-55, but was forced to foul, sending Garcia

to the charity stripe six times in the final 26 seconds. The senior guard was able to seal the contest, making all six of the free throws. Olivia Podaras also added a layup with 15 seconds remaining. SU, which has won four of its last five contests, forced 30 turnovers. Garcia was joined in double figures by Tori Carraway with 16 and Podaras and Turney with 11 each. The Pirates got out to a slow start against Centenary, but quickly got in the groove to lead 31-19 at halftime. It was much of the same in the third and fourth quarters as SU extended its lead throughout. The Pirates outscored the Ladies 20-13 in the third and 20-19 in the fourth. Edwards led the Pirates with 16 points and eight rebounds and Garcia added 14 points. Renee Walker had 12 and Turney 11. Centenary shot just 35.7 percent (15-42) and was outrebounded 50-29. MEN’S BASKETBALL: Southwestern broke even in a pair of SCAC games this past weekend to stand 4-3 in conference play and 7-11 for the season. The Pirates dropped a 76-69 decision to Colorado College (7-1 SCAC, 12-7) on Saturday after beating Centenary, 90-74 on Friday. SU will take to the road this coming week to play Centenary

in Shreveport at 6 p.m. Friday and Colorado College in Colorado Springs at 1 p.m. Sunday. The Pirates nearly overcame a 14-point second-half deficit, but Colorado College held on for the victory at Robertson Center. The Tigers held a 53-39 advantage with 12:39 left in the second half. But SU began chipping away, scoring 6 straight to pull within 8 points. After a free throw went down for John Hatch to push the score to 54-45, the Pirates went on a 13-5 run that trimmed the lead to only 2 points. However, Colorado College answered the run with a 3-pointer from Eric Houska with 4:46 to play. SU was unable to get any closer than 3 points the rest of the way. Ryan Ogden led the Pirates with a double-double effort of 15 points and 10 rebounds. Zach Whitlock added 15 points. Hatch led Colorado College, which shot 54.9 percent from the field, with a game-high 17 points. Four Pirates scored in double figures in SU’s victory over Centenary. Chris Molina led with 24 points, while Connor Kim added 20, Ogden had 14 and Whitlock 10. Southwestern opened the game on a 10-0 run and saw the lead balloon to as many as 18, 33-15, with five minutes to play in the first half. The Gents battled back and pulled within 9 points by the

break, 41-30. Early in the second half SU had the answer for every Centenary run until late when Centenary pulled within 7 at 68-61 with 7:22 remaining. Once again SU battled back and closed the game, outscoring the visitors 22-13 to seal the win. SU shot 53.3 percent from the floor (32-60) and 82.4 percent on free throws (14 of 17). SWIMMING:

The Southwestern men and women won their final tune-ups before the SCAC Championships this past Saturday with wins over McMurry at Walzel Natatorium. The women posted a 136-86 victory and men won 164-92. SU will now turn its attention on preparing for the conference meet, which is set for Feb. 10-13 in Lewisville. In women’s action, the Pirates won eight races on the day. Cara Chin and Erika Dubros each captured a pair of individual wins. The duo also made up half of the winning 200-yard medley relay team. Chin took sprint victories in the 50 free and 50 butterfly and Dubros won the 50 breaststroke and 100 free. The Pirates men earned 12 wins, including a victory in the 200 medley relay. Phillip Silverman won both the 1- and 3-meter diving events. Joshua Van Houtem was first in the 1,000 free with a time of 11 minutes,

17.80 seconds. Mickey Scharbrough added a win in the 50 breaststroke and Matt Sluss won the 100 butterfly. ALUMNI:

Georgetown, East View Girls Get Positive Results By Taylor Wiseman Lauren Samford (4) and the Lady Eagles are coming off a one win, one loss, one tie performance in the Lady Governor’s Cup.

Advocate Sports Staff

Both East View and Georgetown came out of this past weekend’s Lady Governor’s Cup with positive results. Each team had to overcome weather related obstacles, high wind and cold temperatures, that played a big role in each match. East View recorded a 2-1-0 record and Georgetown came out with a 1-1-1 record. For East View, which improved to 4-3, 1-0 was a consistent score. The Lady Patriots lost their opener to Austin Bowie, 1-0, and then bested the Westwood JV, 1-0, and Uvalde 1-0. Georgetown, 2-4-1 after non-district play, tied its opener 1-1 with Conroe Oak Ridge, lost to Coppell, 3-0; and beat San Antonio Johnson, 1-0. Both teams opened District 25-5A play on Tuesday night -- East View entertained defending champion Vandegrift and Georgetown played at Leander.

GHS, EV Boys Win By Galen Wellnicki Sports Editor

Both East View and Georgetown came out of thiDefending district champion and 5A state finalist East View and Georgetown took momentum into Tuesday night’s District 25-5A boys soccer openers. Coach Wes Kidd’s Eagles (5-2-0) were riding a string of four consecutive shutouts, including this past Wednesday’s 3-0 victory over Elgin, when they entertained Leander at the GISD Athletic Complex. They will continue the 14-match double-round-robin schedule on Friday at Cedar Park and then return home against Marble Falls on Tuesday, Feb. 2. At East View, coach Frank Litterst’s Patriots (4-1-2) have won twice and tied once in their last three matches, including a 2-0 victory over Temple this past Tuesday. They opened district on the road against another prime contender, Vandegrift. After the match with the Vipers, East View will entertain Vista Ridge on Friday and travel to Dripping Springs on Tuesday, Feb. 2. All District 25-5A varsity matches are scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. In the match with the Wildcats in Elgin, junior Brian Soto-Mendez scored Georgetown’s first goal off an assist by junior Jesse Zavala with about two minutes remaining in the first half. Zavala played the ball through the defense and Soto-Mendez

went one-on-one with the keeper. GHS added its second goal just 90 seconds into the second half as Soto-Mendez beat the Elgin defense down the right side and crossed a low-ball to sophomore Kobe Coleman, who scored. The final goal came midway through the second half as junior Luke Richison beat the defense and crossed it to junior Addison Stout for the score. “Overall it was a good game for us,” Kidd said. “Defensively, we played a very good game. The back four Noah Torres, Luis Diaz, Krhistian Mumford-Hollis and Christian De Paz, along with Cole Elston, who positioned himself in front of the back four, played outstanding. It kept keeper Miles Motakef from having a lot to do. It also allowed our attack the ability to take chances. “That finishes up our preseason, now onto to 14 games of district. We are looking forward to the challenge that our district holds. It should be fun” In East View’s win over visiting Temple (2-3-3), senior Dillon Luterek, the Patriots’ only returning starter from last season, scored the first goal off an assist by freshman Roberto Avila and junior Muiller Avila scored on a penalty kick in the second half. Junior Matt Honstien and senior Hugo Nunez Plata share the shutout in goal for East View.

ping Springs and GHS goes to Marble Falls. All 25-5A games begin at 7:15 p.m. The Lady Patriots struggled to find the back of the net throughout the Bowie game. Their best chance to score came from a shot by senior Taylor Marques that hit off the crossbar. Later in the match, Bowie was able to slide one past freshman goalkeeper, Misty Gonzales. “We gave up a goal late in the second half. Misty made the save and they worked hard on the rebound and we didn’t work so hard,” coach James Donahue said. In the win over the Westwood JV, the wind was a factor during the match making it almost impossible to send through balls to the forwards. East View had trouble finishing chances with two shots hitting the crossbar in the first half. The Lady Patriots were able to put a point on the board with 6 minutes and 22 seconds remaining in the second half when Marques sent a shot over the keeper’s head from 30 yards out to clinch East View’s first win of the

tournament. Bailey Aleman got the assist. “We’ve been competitive in all our games.” Donahue said. “We’ve got some things we’ve still got to do better…we have hot moments we have cold moments . . . we’re getting there.” The wind was not a factor in Saturday’s win over Uvalde. East View jumped out to an early lead off an Aleman header with 34:44 remaining in the first half. Aleman’s goal came off a corner kick taken by Marques. The Lady Patriots continued to put the pressure on the Lobo’s defense taking 10 shots in the first half, most of which went just wide of the goal. “Taking shots is good . . . we’ve got to learn to finish because if we can’t finish we can’t win,” Donahue said. East View came out ready to score in the second half, but was unable to net a second goal. The Lady Patriots finished the second half with five shots, two of Cup cont. on B7

CUP, FROM PAGE B6 which went just over the crossbar while another hit the post. Aleman was given a yellow card with :38 left in the second half. “More time with each other, more experience, getting used to each other . . . we’ve got to play some good people,” Donahue said on the outcome of the tournament. Across town, Georgetown, who has had trouble with injuries, was able to bring starters Alexis Barrientez and Kayla Fithian back for Thursday’s draw with Oak Ridge. After falling to a deficit of one in the first three minutes of play, Georgetown looked to even the score in the first half but were unlucky with two shots coming off the post. The Lady Eagles continued with heavy pressure up front and were able to find the back of the net with 2:35 left in the second half. Senior Camryn Sorensen connected with her head off a corner kick from junior Baylee Ford. “It’s a very positive lift... you don’t live for draws, generally, but at this point this is a positive step,” McCutchen said. “So, we’re happy with that.” Friday night’s loss to the defending state champions Coppell wasn’t ideal, but McCutchen saw progress in

his team. “The progression that we’ve made this year has improved every game,” McCutchen said. “We have the ability to get better and we have the need to get better.” The Lady Eagles were without starters Fithian and Amy Lucroy. Fithian attended an ID camp at Texas Tech and Lucroy remains out with an injury. GHS held off Coppell’s offense for the first 60 minutes of the game. With 20:22 left in the second half Coppell found the back of the net on a deflected shot. Eight minutes later, Coppell put another point on the board off a corner kick. The Cowgirls then extended their lead to three with an acrobatic flick off a cross from the left flank. “I was very pleased that we had the result that we had for the first 60 minutes,” McCutchen said. “The first half, we had the fewest giveaways that we’ve had all year.” With three minutes left in the second half Coppell was awarded a penalty kick. Senior goalkeeper Katrina Buck came up with the save to keep the score at 3-0. Coach McCutchen was very pleased with Buck’s performance and the work she has put in this year. “Katrina Buck is one

of the most underrated goalkeepers in this whole capital of Texas area . . . we work reaction drills every day,” McCutchen said. The GHS-Johnson game became physical very fast. Annika Brandenburg collided with a SA Johnson forward with 30:26 left in the first half. Brandenburg remained in the game for the Lady Eagles. With :12 left in the first half, Ford was taken down from behind and the SA Johnson player responsible was given a yellow card. The game remained deadlocked at zero until senior forward Payton Nunez found the back of the net off an assist from sophomore Sara Elston. “The past few games we’ve been struggling up top and we just needed to be able to finish,” Nunez said. Johnson tried to counter but Buck was a force in goal. Buck came up with five big saves in the last 20 minutes to give the Eagles a win. “She is a great goalkeeper,” McCutchen said. Sorensen sat out this game to rest up for district play. She will be back for Tuesday’s game. The Lady Eagles have lost senior scoring-threat Sabrina Pescatore to an ACL tear.

Eagles Go 3-0 In McCallum Duals Georgetown won all three of its matches in the McCallum duals this past Saturday at the Delco Center in Austin. The Eagles bested Killeen, 52-21; Pflugerville, 60-19; and Austin Travis, 66-18. Eagles who went undefeated Saturday were

Reese Pennell, 132 pounds; Qwynton Rudd, 138; Seth Davis, 160; Luke Carlin, 170; Ethen Blankenship, 182; and Ben Porcell, 220. “It was a great weekend for Georgetown wrestling.” coach Randall Madsen said. “The team went 3 and 0 for the day, and shows continuous improvement
