COUDERSPORT — The Curwensville Area High School wrestling team defeated a trio of District 9 Class AA rivals to come away from Saturday’s Coudersport Duals with a .500 record for the season.
The Golden Tide slipped past Cameron County 42-40 and dominated Coudersport 51-26 and Sheffield 60-24.
“Our goal was to win all District 9 matches, so I was very happy,” Golden Tide coach Duane Wriglesworth said. “We had a good team effort. I was really happy with their attitude and demeanor the whole day.”
Curwensville (4-4) was beaten 60-21 by Lewisburg (8-2) of District 4 and 51-24 by Maplewood (11-2) of District 10.
Those teams had only lost to once-beaten opponents and when they tangled in what proved to be the championship dual, Maplewood was victorious 37-36 on criteria.
Jake Lancaster, who wrestled at 126 and 132 pounds, was the Golden Tide’s standout with five falls in an aggregate time of 7:41. Included were 30-second and 18-second pins.
“Lancaster really had a great day, and (Brad) Stubbs wrestled well, too,” Wriglesworth said.
Stubbs was 4-1 with falls in 37, 20 and 10 seconds and a forfeit at heavyweight.
Tyler Mays (120 and 126), Trey McKenzie (145) and Austin Pollick (182) posted 3-2 records with all their wins via falls.
Sam Bressler (106 and 113) and Nate Wriglesworth (170) also were 3-2 and had two pins apiece.
“My hat’s off to those guys who wrestled up,” Wriglesworth said, adding Ayran Shearer (113 and 120) to that list. “We probably wouldn’t have done as well as we did if they had not sacrificed for the team.
“We did not wrestle well over at Punxsutawney (Thursday), but I definitely saw some improvement in aggressiveness. There was no hesitation, which we had at Punxsy. The guys were very good in their initial starts and move selection. I saw huge gains.”
Curwensville returns to action Thursday against District 9 Class AA power Redbank Valley at New Bethlehem.
