Sticking it to South

Seth Kisner thrills the crowd to finish the match with a pin.

South Hagerstown visited Southern on Monday evening for a dual meet which was rescheduled from December.  The home crowd was loud and excited and the Rams put on quite a show, scoring a 63-15 victory.

Dalton Cooper starts the match with a quick pin.

The match started at 182 where Dalton Cooper got the ball rolling with a quick pin for Southern.  His brother Scott did the same at 195 and Brian Rinker added a pin of his own at 220 to give the Rams an 18-0 lead.  South reeled off three straight wins (their only three of the night) to bring the score to 18-15.  South Hagerstown has two state ranked wrestlers and both were able to get wins vs. Southern.

Austin Shaffer in control as usual.

At 120, Austin Shaffer got the Rams back on track with a third period pin against a very physical, active wrestler.  Cooper McCauley and Zach Tichnell both recorded pins for Southern to stretch the lead to 36-15.  At 138, Tanner Massey survived a battle that lasted all three rounds and featured lots of scoring on both sides.  In the end, Tanner scored a 19-12 win.

Zach Tichnell, winner by fall.

The Rams then earned pins in each of the last four bouts of the evening.  At 145, Justyce Fulmer turned a close match in to a win by pin and the crowd went wild.  Next up, Stephen Collins had little trouble sticking his opponents shoulders to the mat for the win.

Will Foulke with the pin.

Will Foulke used his long legs and arms to stretch his opponent out and pick up a pin of his own and Seth Kisner thrilled the home crowd by coming off his back and locking up the South wrestlers and squeezing him up for the final pin of the evening.  Final Score, Southern Garrett 63 - South Hagerstown 15
