Defend the Den

Last Wednesday was our annual rivalry match with Oviedo High School. The Huskies jumped out to a 24-0 lead with pins at 170 lb. (Scooter Duren), 182 (Derek Di Bernardo), 195 (Josh Lopez), and 220 (Will Searcy). The Lions closed to 24-10 with a pin at 106 & a major decision of Brandon Boyle at 113 lbs. Eric Nordahl earned a major decision of his own to put the Huskies up 28-10. After giving up a pin at 126 lbs, Zach Larison (132) and Matt Munroe (138) pinned their opponents to increase our lead to 40-16. Oviedo would go on to pin at 145, 152, & 160 to knot the score up at 40-40.

After 14 matches, both teams had 6 pins and 2 major decisions. Eventually, the match was decided by tiebreaker criteria H: The team having the greater number (total match points) of first point(s) shall be declared the winner.  We scored the first takedown in 9 of the 14 matches, giving us the 41-40 victory! Our guys battled extremely tough and showed the fruits of our hard work in the practice room.
