HYDE — On Senior Night at the Arthur J. Weiss Gymnasium, where the pre-match senior wrestler and cheerleader recognition took almost as long as the entire dual meet and the senior cheerleader Dale Clish-sung National Anthem took longer than most matches, the Bison hung a 75-6 loss on the Tyrone Golden Eagles.
Seven out of eight senior wrestlers contributed six points via either forfeit or fall to the lopsided victory.
The Bison improved to 11-2 on the year, while the Golden Eagles dipped to 2-7.
The meet started at 145 pounds were Bison senior Tallin Norris set the tone for the night. After a scoreless first period, Norris (11-11) escaped for a point to start the second, then took down and pressed junior Sage Dixon (9-8) to the mat in 2:57.
At 152 pounds, Bison junior Zane Morgan (11-13) logged the quickest pin of the night in 18 seconds over Lance Loose (2-3).
Sophomore Hunter Wright (6-4) at 160 picked up the first of four Bison forfeits.
Fellow sophomore Luke McGonigal (20-2) turned the opening takedown in to a fall in 37 seconds over Phoenix Farias (7-8) at 170.
Senior Levi Wisor (12-8) at 182 pounds also turned the opening takedown in to a fall, this one in 45 seconds over Erick Ixtepan (2-7) to increase the Bison lead to 30-0.
At 195 pounds, first-year wrestler and senior Corey Shimmel evened his season, and career, record at 1-1 with the second Bison forfeit.
Moving up to 220 from his normal 195, senior Travis Ogden (20-1) logged another first period fall, this one in 1:04 over Tyrone’s Stevie Colyer (12-5).
Weighing in at 210 pounds, Bison senior Nate Lash (15-9) also saw his home career end via the easy forfeit at 285 and give the Bison a 48-0 lead as we headed to the lightweights.
In one of the closer bouts of the night, sophomore Matt Ryan (16-7) locked horns with Tyrone lightweight Michael Cherry. After a scoreless first period, Cherry escaped in the second to a 1-0 lead heading in to the final two minutes. Once there, Ryan reversed from the bottom position and eventually pinned Cherry, handing him his second loss of the season against five wins.
Freshman Cole Smay (6-4) picked up the fourth and final forfeit of the night for the hosts at 113 to extend the lead to 60-0.
Tyrone averted the shutout when junior Devon Brown (15-4) won the opening scramble and pinned Bison freshman Jude Pallo (13-10) in 1:38.
At 126 we saw the only bout of the night that went the full six minutes. Senior Hunter Blake (13-6) outlasted Tyrone’s Jamal Hicks (4-10) with three takedowns, an escape, and a penalty point for an 8-5 regular decision.
Seniors Josiah McClarren (13-9) at 132 and Logan Gilbert (13-10) had similar matches to close out the night.
Each scored the opening takedown and picked up nearfall points before scoring first period falls.
The Bison now get a well-deserved break until the weekend when they will make the short trip to West Branch High School to participate in the first annual Ultimate Warrior Invitational.
