Opening Night Excitement

The 2012/2013 Southern Rams took the to the mats last night and opened their season at Frankfort High School with a tri-match against Boonsboro and the host team.  Each match was very exciting, very intense and came down to the wire.  In the end, the Rams walked away with a pair of hard fought victories to start the season 2-0.

First up were the Boonsboro Warriors.  The match started at 160 with senior co-captain Stephen Collins dropping a close decision 9-6.  The Rams roared back with 4 straight victories to take a 21-3 lead with pins by Will Foluke, Dalton Cooper and Scott Cooper and a decision by Brian Rinker.  The holes in our line-up came into play next.  We forfeited 3 of the remaining matches, giving away 18 points to make the match too close for comfort.  Freshman Devan Hamrick picked up a win by forfeit and Austin Shaffer got a pin for the Rams, but after losses by Cooper McCauley and Zach Tichnell, we had a slim lead at 33-27 with only 2 matches remaining.  Junior Tanner Massey took to the mat, needing a major decision or a pin to clinch the win for his team, and he delivered.  Massey built up a big lead before pinning his opponent late in the second period to secure the Ram's victory.  Justyce lost a tough battle to end the match with Southern winning 39-34.

Next up for the Rams were the Frankfort Falcolns.  This young team is much improved from past years and gave our boys all they could handle.  The match started with junior Will Foulke picking up a forfeit then sophomore Dalton Cooper took a quick lead, but was was unable to hold on and lost by fall.  Co-Captain Scott Copper picked up a quick pin but Brian Rinker was caught in a tight headlock and gave up the pin.  After forfeiting 285 again, we turned the corner trailing 18-12.  We got pins from Devan Hamrick, Austin Shaffer and Cooper McCauley but had to forfeit two more matches, tying the team score 30-30 with 4 matches remaining.  Frankfort regained the lead with a major decision over Zach Tichnell, but the Rams quickly got it back when Tanner Massey picked up his second pin of the evening.  The see-saw battle continued when Justyce Fulmer lost by pin.  The Rams trailed 40-36 going into the final bout where Stephen Collins needed a major decision to tie or a pin to win.  Our co-captain wasted little time, going straight to work and earning the fall in under a minute, giving the Rams an exciting 42-40 victory.

Double winners on Wednesday evening were Devan Hamrick, Austin Shaffer, Tanner Massey, Will Foulke and Scott Cooper.

Next up for Southern is another tri match on Saturday as Winters Mill and Harford Tech travel to Oakland to take on the Rams at home.  Wrestling begins at 1pm.
