Continental Conference
Souderton 38, Central Bucks West 22
Souderton seems to be peaking at just the right time. Earlier in the year, a loss or two would have decimated the Indians. Now, they are wrestling with more confidence and winning matches they should.
A case in point is Brett Hale. The 132-pounder recorded a tech fall under pressure to solidify the win.
“Everybody went out and took care of business,” said coach Tristan Boyd.
The Indians’ big gun KoltonVeit pinned at 120 to finish his dual meet season with just a single loss.
“He’s wrestling with confidence,” said Boyd.
Quakertown 40, Hatboro-Horsham 33
After a difficult start to the season, the Panthers are starting to come together.
Two big wins for Quakertown came at 106 and 113. CollynDorney very nearly pinned a very tough Phil Torresani and finished with an 18-7 major decision.
“That was a real good win for Dorney,” said Quakertown coach Kurt Handel.
At 113, Jimmy Flood fought back from 5-2 and 7-4 deficits to defeat Kevin Mowry 13-10, putting him on his back in the last 30 seconds.
The 152 match was a real back and forth affair. Quakertown’s Matt Stoneback had Connor Bodnar on his back until Bodnar reversed and pinned him in the second period.
Freshman Micah Jones gave the Panthers a real boost with an unexpected fall at 182.
Alex Brulliea also had a nice pin at 126.
Quakertown finished its league season at 3-4.
“We moved our lineup around so much this year and not once did anyone complain,” said Handel. “That’s impressive. They’re a great group of kids.”
