Super Duals - Day 1

Devan Hamrick with the leg cradle

Day one of the Fort Hill Super Duals was snowed out on Friday afternoon, but Day two proceeded as scheduled.  All Friday's matches will be made up next week, but there were plenty of exciting, action filled matches on the mats on Saturday.

 

Southern's first match of the tournament was a rematch against the Hyndman Hornets from PA.  In the end, the final score was very similar to the dual meet in December with Southern on top 53-19.  The Hornets always wrestle tough and this match was no exception.  Winning by pin for the Rams were Tanner Massey, Seth Kisner and Keith Chapman.  Winning by tech fall was Devan Hamrick and receiving forfeits were Austin Shaffer, Jimmy Schwab, Ethan Bittinger, Justyce Fulmer and Will Foulke.

 

Tanner Massey with 5 pins on the day

In round two, Southern faced Spring Mill, WV, a brand new school from the Martinsburg area.  The team had only four wrestlers on the roster so 10 Rams received forfeits.  Tanner Massey picked up his second pin of the day and Seth Kisner won by decision.  The final score was Southern 69 - Spring Mill 12.

 

The Rams squared off with the Allegany Campers in round three.  This was another re-match from a dual that was held in December.  In round three of the Super Duals, Southern pulled off the rare perfect score, leveling the Campers by the score of 84-0.  Winning by pin for Southern were Josh King, Tanner Massey, Justyce Fulmer, Will Foulke, Seth Kisner, Dalson Cooper, Brian Rinker, Keith Chapman and Marcus Tichinel.  The rest of the Rams received forfeits to give Southern the maximum possible points.

Freshman Jimmy Schwab 5-0 on the day

 

In round four, Southern faced the Keyser Golden Tornado.  This match would prove to be the toughest match of the day.  In the end, Southern held on for a 45-33 victory for the team's 10th win in a row.  Earning pins for Southern were Devan Hamrick, Jimmy Schwab, Tanner Massey, Dalton Cooper, Brian Rinker, Keith Chapman and Marcus Tichinel.  Winning by decision was Austin Shaffer.

 

Round 5 was the final round of the afternoon.  In that round, the Rams beat Petersburg 57-24 to cap off a perfect day.  Winning by pin in the final round were Devan Hamrick, Jimmy Schwab, Tanner Massey, Justyce Fulmer, Will Foulke and Seth Kisner.  Earning another decision was Austin Shaffer and receiving forfeits were George Zimmerman, Brian Rinker and Keith Chapman.

Senior Austin Shaffer takes a cross-face and gets the win

Senior Tanner Massey lead the team on Saturday with 5 wins, all by pin to take the team lead with 11 pins on the season.  Joining Massey with 5 wins on the day were Devan Hamrick, Austin Shaffer, Jimmy Schwab and Keith Chapman.  Winning 4 out of 5 on day 1 of the Super Duals were Justyce Fulmer, Will Foulke, Seth Kisner and Brian Rinker.  Winning three match were George Zimmerman, Dalton Cooper and Marcus Tichinel.
