Wrestling team wins two matches in quad at Colon

by Chelsie Darrow

The teams that competed at last Wednesday’s wrestling meet were Pittsford, Climax-Scotts, Colon, and Bellevue. It was a good evening, though, as the Wildcat grapplers went 2-0, beating Bellevue 42-12 and C-S 42-30. The only teams that Pittsford wrestled were Climax and Bellevue. So it was a fairly small meet compared to the previous ones that the wrestlers have had.

Once again we had many voids at this meet as we did with the Jonesville invitational. This is mostly because the MHSAA only allows the wrestlers to wrestle twice during one week. Pittsford’s wrestlers recovered very well from their last meet. Once again, seniors Chase Weber and Ben Wines went 2-0, pinning all of their opponents. Joining Wines and Weber with a 2-0 record was Cody McLouth, who also pinned both of his men. Junior Taylor Hatfield and sophomore Brad Bolenbaugh each had one pin on the night (and won via void in their other matches). Brad feels that their preparation had a lot to do with their performance. “To wrestle good like we did on Wednesday you have to lift weights and be willing to work hard,” explained Brad.
