BROOKVILLE – Curwensville High School’s wrestling team ran into unbeaten and highly state ranked Brookville Tuesday night on the Raiders’ home mat.
In the end, the Raiders remained perfect on the 2015-16 season, taking care of the Golden Tide with a more than convincing victory, 68-12.
Brookville is now 17-0 on the campaign.
Curwensville won just two bouts, getting six points from senior Shae Bloom at 152 pounds, who won when Brookville’s Caleb Hetrick couldn’t finish due to an injury.
The other individual win for the Golden Tide was by freshman Blake Passarelli who pinned Brodie Joiner at 106 in the first period at 1:37.
Bloom improved to 16-1 on the year while Passarelli upped his record to 15-3.
Brookville’s Taylor Ortiz remained unbeaten (26-0), with a fall at 138 pounds.
Golden Tide head coach Dean Swatsworth spoke afterwards about the tough task that faced his team, saying, “We knew going into tonight we were wrestling a tough team and they showed it. I thought we wrestled well in a few of the matches but we didn’t end up where we wanted to be in the match.”
Then Swatsworth commented about the Tide‘s two wins, “Shae got the first win of the night for us with an injury default. Our second win came from Blake. Blake wrestled hard tonight and got the bonus points that we always talk about.”
In closing, Swatsworth remarked, “I told the kids we need to take what we learned from our matches and keep working and getting ready for that next match.”
The Raiders had seven pins and received three forfeits to coast to the victory.
Brookville also won the junior high match over the Tide, 78-12.
The Golden Tide (5-10) are on the road Thursday at Moshannon Valley.
