Morrison High School Wrestling Coach Tony Wright submitted this report of two Varsity meets held on Thursday, January 9, 2014. The Mustangs defeated both Putnam County and Riverdale.
The Mustang Wrestling Team was back in action on Thursday evening, January 9, 2014, in the Morrison High School gymnasium. The Mustangs hosted two Conference opponents, Putnam County and Riverdale. The squad (missing two starters, Austin Shoup and Phoenix Parks) pinned their way to two victories, defeating Putnam County 54-24 and Riverdale 49-30. The Mustangs recorded 13 pins on the evening. Five wrestlers were double pinners: Ethan Fischbach, Dylan Keller, Hunter Ferguson, Austin Keller, and Tyler Todd. Todd improved his record to 17-7 and ignited the squad with his pin of Riverdale’s State-ranked, Nathan Rocker. Todd now has 15 pins on the season.
The Mustangs compete again on Friday, January 10, and Saturday, January 11, at the Princeton Tournament. The “PIT,” as it is commonly known, is like a mini State tournament for 1A wrestlers.
