Morrison High School Wrestling Coach Tony Wright submitted this report of ten dual meets held on Friday, December 27, and Saturday, December 28, 2013. The Mustangs were victorious in six contests, finishing 17th.
Christmas break was busy for the Mustang Wrestling team, as they competed in the St. Thomas More, New Year’s Challenge for the third straight year. The New Year’s Challenge is the State’s premiere dual team tournament, featuring 35 teams from around the State. Friday, December 28, started with pooled competition. The Mustangs competed in the deepest pool featuring six teams, five of which are ranked in the State. The day started slowly; the Mustangs dumped two duals to Clifton-Central and Monmouth-Roseville. By the third dual the team was awake and ready to compete. However, they ran into the juggernaut that is Vandalia. The highlight of the meet was Freshman Jesse Lilly (HWT) pinning the State’s 11th-ranked wrestler. After starting the day 0-3 and losing stand-out, Austin Shoup, for the weekend in the second dual, the wrestlers hit their stride by downing El Paso and Seneca.
Saturday morning, December 28, the Mustangs found themselves with a low seed facing perennial powerhouse Leroy. The Mustangs battled hard, but they were outgunned 27-48. However, the team had a new sense of vigor after competing well against the 9th-ranked team in the State. After that, the Mustangs would not lose another meet. They rattled off four consecutive dual wins, picking up wins over Clinton, Beardstown, Newman, and IVC, to battle all the way back to 17th place. While not satisfied with 17th, the Mustangs placed as high as they could after a Saturday morning loss. Moreover, they avenged a recent Conference loss to Sterling-Newman along the way.
Highlights from the weekend included:
- Joe Eads (FR) went 10-0.
- Austin Keller (JR) and Tyler Todd (SO) went 7-3 with 7 pins.
- Dylan Keller (FR) pinned #7 Dalton Willett of Monmouth-Roseville.
- Jesse Lilly (FR) pinned #11 B. Woosley of Vandalia.
- Morrison defeated Newman 42-23.
