| Super Dual Champions! |
The Southern Rams were back on the mats this weekend in Cumberland at the Fort Hill Super Duals. The eight team event had a solid mix of teams from WV, MD and PA and was conducted in a dual meet format with a championship round at the end.
The Rams went 4-0 on Friday evening with wins over Frankfort, Fort Hill, Hyndman and Petersburg and were scheduled to face the two toughest teams back to back on Saturday morning. Hampshire was up first in round 5 that morning and Southern scored a 43-33 victory with a showdown with unbeaten Boonsboro next up. Southern took care of business once again with a 44-30 victory, handing Boonsboro their first loss of the weekend.

After a win over Allegany in round 7, the Rams were set for a rematch with Boonsboro in the tournament championship round. Southern's wrestlers started out fast, built a lead and poured it on strong to earn a dominating 57-24 win to capture team title and the Super Duals championship trophy.

Individually, Devan Hamrick continued his winning ways with 8 wins at the Super Duals to move his team leading season record to 29-0. Also unbeaten at the tournament were Jace Guy and Corey Horner. Jimmy Schwab and Joey Embleton finished the Super Duals at 7-1 while Brison Dixon and Nate Tasker ended up 6-2. Dixon lost his first two matches of the season (both to the same wrestler) to bring his season record to 27-2 and Tasker was able to win a revenge match over a wrestler who had beaten him earlier in the tournament. Sophomore Alec Horner was 5-3 in his varsity debut which was good enough to earn the second place trophy. Freshman Cole Sweitzer was also 5-3 at the Super Duals. Sophomore Jake Sweitzer was undefeated at 4-0, only wrestling on Saturday. Freshman Hunter Park was also able to avenge a loss to the Boonsboro wrestler by pinning him in the final round after losing to him earlier in the tournament.
