MEADVILLE — On Friday night the Clearfield Bison wrestling team made their annual trek west to the 33rd Annual Tool City Tournament at Meadville High School.
After the first day’s competition, Clearfield sits in 13th place in a 17-team field, has two wrestlers in championship contention, and has four wrestlers still alive in the consolation bracket.
Fellow #2 seeds Christian Stone at 126 and Nolan Barger at 145 went 2-0 on the night, each picking up first round falls.
The only other Bison to pick up a first round win was freshman Noah Cline at 106. Cline then lost a 1-point match in the quarterfinals to be bumped into the third round of consies Saturday morning.
Also staying alive for the Bisons with consolation wins were Dylan Graham at 132, Kody Hepfer at 160, and Jordan Lancaster at heavyweight.
120 pounder Frankie Aveni did pick up a first round consolation win, but was then eliminated in the second round.
